Bramham Childrens School, Jan 11

History


Bramham House Children’s Home, before it served the purpose of its title, was originally built as a family home in 1806. It ceased to be a family home when it was bought out by the West Riding County Council Children's Department in 1947, after settling the cost with the Ramsden family (the last residents) for £8000.

Looks kinda creepy in a cool way.

You must feel so sad seeing the state of the once beautiful building, I still see the beauty. Have u got any pics of as it was?

Good stuff and I too love that ceiling.

man this place is getting more and more trashed. did you manage to find the boiler room? theres some cool stuff in there.

Pretty trashed now but interesting all the same. Nice to hear from a former resident too. Sounds like this was one of the better kids homes with good memories for those who stayed there.

I followed your link; quite a history to this place; and thanks - I always love knowing the background stories.

Looks as it's been stripped, also; the article described wood-paneled walls, mahogany doors with brass fittings, etc.

there was a big room with panel walls last time i went, think it was the one with the skylight and the coloured ceiling.
