Anyone who has known me knows I have a love of abandoned schools, and especially big American ones which are completely different to the ones found over here. I was given the opportunity to visit one recently and jumped at the chance although having not heard of the place before or seen any photos I didn't know what to expect.

This was typical of a small town high school, not massive by any means but certainly a grand place in it's day. It closed some time in the 1980s and has been sat slowly decaying ever since. The outside is home to many stray cats, which the local residents look after. They have provided the cats with a few carriers as shelter and put out food for them outside the exterior fence which is really nice of them. But the inside is where it gets funky...the sports hall has become a home to hundreds of pigeons, who all run around in the void between the suspended ceiling tiles and original ceiling. I've never seen or heard anything like it in my life!

Yeah man fuck the birds. Imagine how much angst and teen love happened here... :)
 
Like Wow man, that's pretty well thrashed. I always wonder what these places would look like in the 1950s and 1960s, because I think this school would be flourishing during that time.
 
The cause of the angst was maybe because they weren't getting to "fuck the birds" must have bin an interested nose Mook, Thanks
