.... Academy, Inverness, October 2008

Visited this with Bryag t'other night.

After assorted comedy access attempts we cracked it

This another little gem courtesy of PFI funding, at least it's good for something

Some externals first...

The main building :

Another block :

There were a fair few murals about (twas tipping down, excuse the rain-spots ! )

In the canteen was this 'Last Supper' type mural, some dead rock-stars, some not so dead...

The Theatre :

Complete with Christmas stuff

Is it just me or does this have the face of a blow-up doll?!

Corridor action :

Into the Science labs :

Found this rather fine gas-test (?) apparatus :

And loads of these :

Old-school

Vacuum-pump thingy :

Elderly CD player

Lab :

Art Department :

Fine sculpture

Moving on :

Loadsa gear still here

Another mural :

The dining hall :

And lastly this rather fine staircase, shot from outside, as I couldn't get a good angle from the inside

This was good fun, and as with t'other school I was in that has been made redundant via PFI the sheer waste of kit is amazing!

Tis good to see that public funding is never wasted right enough.

Quality.....


Is that Zimbob's hearse in the first photo?

Reminds me of whan I worked at Gordonston School near Elgin where Prince Charles went to school. At the end of term the kids walked away leaving everything there including clothes, bikes, etc etc. The Janitor had to take it all to the dump and destroy it and I'm not talking about one or two crappy old bikes either!

Quality! I think I'll have to give up my 'no more exploring for a couple of months' resolution.

Yes it is Bax__, Well spotted

Here are a few of mine from the alleged event, in no particular order, with no narrative. Please feel free to fill in the blanks yourselves

I know I said no narrative, but this is a close-up of that gas testing kit Zimbob posted

Well as Bugs Bunny would say "That's all folks"

This place was a little too fresh for my liking, it has after all only now been closed two weeks. Apparently the demolition is going to take a year, as they will have to strip out all of the asbestos before it can be raized to the ground

Half the fun of your photos is trying to spot the copyright tag which I don't see on the vacuum pump pic!
Looks like a great pace to explore.

Sometimes I deliberately ommit one, just to keep the conspiracy theorists guessing

Sometimes I hide it so well I can't see it myself. There was one from the Glenglasshaugh Distillery set that took me ages to find- and I put it there.

Actually, I decided not to post the Vacuum pump pic, so did not tag it, then ended up potsing it anyway. I really need a secretary

 

[zimbob]

I did wonder

Pics are looking rather fine
