Tunstall Court - Hartlepool - Feb 2012

Visited with Jippers, BlueBird, Ezykiel and GhostCamera.

Buit by the famous shipbuilding familly the Furness's in 1899. When shipbuilding began to dry up in the town they moved further afield in in 1948 handed the house to the local authority for education purposes. It served as a college/school and later a training centre before closing in 2005. 'It had property guardians' after, however this scheme was short lived and the house was abandoned.

It is set to be converted into Luxury Apartments.

Hope they do it soon or it might fall down!




Has a Swimming Pool under here

But have you just killed a man?

No, nor did i put a gin against his head as a matter of fact..

Doesn,t look like it will last much longer!

The majority of damaged happened within two years of closing - it hasnt changed much within the last 3 years apart from the ballroom getting burned down in 2010.

The local yobs obviously got bored and moved onto somewhere else.
