This trip was sparked after the recent fire there. (get it - sparked!!). I had to see it before it went for ever. Its so trashed inside now. What also got me was how wet the building was. The staircase is about to rot away :mad: We also had a police run in and i also met an other urbexer there. Was a good but scary day ( after the police fail).

Tunstall court was built in 1899 by famous shipbuilder and entrepreneur Williams C Gray whose family lived there for nearly 30 years. The Furness family who were a massive name in shipbuilding then occupied the building until the Council took ownership in 1948.

The local authority then used this building as an educational establishment until spiraling costs forced them to give it up in 2002. The last owners were a company who leased single appartments in the building for £25 a week but this scheme was short lived and it closed completely in 2006. (thanks poolie girl) ;)
