Report - Hunters Hill College - Worcestershire - May 2024

It's a bit worse for wear, but it's not a bad mooch. Some nice wood panelling and features.
This was last weekend.

Great thanks for the pics. The woodwork looks really old compared to the rest of the campus

Before it was absorbed into Hunters Hill College, the building over the road, Cropwood House, was bought from the Cadbury family and used as Cropwood Open Air School, a residential school where disadvantaged children would go to be taught outside away from the dangers of Tuberculosis. I believe it became part of Hunters Hill when that part was originally built in 1933 with Hunters Hill being for boys and Cropwood the girl's side. It's been closed a lot longer than the part photographed in the thread.

Oh okay thanks for info. Yeah that does make a lot of sense when you compare the condition of the two places. Definitely on the list to go back and see Cropwood House.
