I knoiw some one started a thread about this place in the past but since it was back in 2005 I can't se the point in dragging it back up.
Looks like I may well have been the first off here to visit least I can't find any one elses thread on the place.

Creepy this as you can still see chairs on the desks.

Also has thi swhich some of you might have seen before on another thread of mine.

Interesting place with an old ruind church behind the boathouse. I have not been back there for a while but I indend to go along the ridge way that passes through so may well get some more photo's
The place is owned by a development company who are going to build an retirement place there I think) so some security.
 
Hold on.....This is disused?
I have lost count how many times ive driven past this whilst looking for somewhere to go!
 
Nice pics NC -what an eclectic mix of styles. That computer building looks like it was designed by Amstrad! :lol:

Cheers for posting these :)

Well I only live up the road from the place, the day I went there I bumped into a guy sat by the lake with a rifle who at first I tought was fishing, yea for mink soon as one poped up he blew it way. Any way he was employed by the owners to shot them as they kept takeing fish etc. He also said the place was patroled from time to time but no one stopped me. Mind you that was nigh on a year ago plus people do still live on the site. Don't think it is used as a school any more though I was told it was used as a summer school.
 
Ooh, interesting stuff, nc. Love the setting and seeing the various buildings...and that boat house again!!! I really want that boat house...it's wonderful! :mrgreen:
 
Is there a type 22 pillbox in the grounds of carmel college (DOB site S0012051) and if so can you now access it ?

Thanks for the photos, I attended the school from 1978-84, brings back loads of happy memories. A bit spooky that the classrooms still have books and chairs.................

Yes I have posted a couple of shots from the opposite side of the river. Does not look like you can get inside though but will be worth going for a look.
 
Had a revisit and took a few more photo's

I read that the founder of the College was buried in the grounds and thought I knew where it was, here it is and sill in good condition apart for a lot of leaves all over the place.

This must have been a fountain at one time

I'm told this was a music room, wonder if that is where my old teacher Mr Fogell used to work.

Inside the craft workshop with gafitti over the walls. Makes me wonderif it was the kids when they found out it was shutting.
