primary school

June 2026 We stumbled across this one completely by accident with @MotionlessMike after visiting another local spot. What felt like less than two minutes in the car later, we spotted the old school and decided to pull over for a look. The school itself is nothing particularly remarkable, being...

St Bartholomew's CE Primary School in brighton First opened in 1958, but closed Christmas time, 2024. This school closed due to falling pupil numbers, with 22% drop in under-fours between 2011 and 2021, and the resulting financial unviability. Today, we got the chance to see what condition the...

December 2025 Knocked this one off as a solo visit whilst visiting the neighbouring Coed Talon Works, wasn't expecting much from this place with it closing in the early 90's, however I was pleasantly surprised with what I found. A lot of the original features have long since gone but each room...

September 2025 Visited with @Mr Budge and @MotionlessMike, Springburn Primary School is situated in the north of Glasgow, it was built during the late 19th century to serve the growing industrial community of Springburn. The main school building was designed by architect David Thomson and...

March 2025 The second school of my solo weekend in South Wales earlier in the year, I saw this place pop up as a L&R a couple of months ago and made a mental note to stop in and take a look whenever I was in the area. Unsurprisingly, there is virtually no history of this place online and, after...

November 2024 I visited with @MotionlessMike, there is very little information about this building available online, but I've pieced together what I can. The building is a relatively modern (post 1970s) single-storey purpose built school building of brick construction under a mix of asphalt and...

THE HISTORY Greenmill Primary School was the main primary school of the small town of Cumnock in the deep dark depths of East Ayrshire. It also happened to be my former primary school so this was a very exciting explore for me and allowed me to share the spoken history of the building which...

Been waiting to write a report on this place for months Also noticed a lot of my reports are schools and churches, bare with me, it’s all we have in south wales (Maybe a few asylums here and there) :thumb Description: Built as an elementary board school in 1900-02 by J. and F. Weaver...

The Site To be honest, I could not find much history about this place other than it was closed in 2010, and the students were moved to a new school in the area. Since then the school has not been able to find a buyer. This link contains a lot of information about the site if you are into that...

Few of my mates went here the other day, currently easily accessible with no known alarms or sensors. Here's a google maps link: Google Maps Some of you keen photographers might wanna get here before its trashed beyond belief. Might do a report on this sunday :)

Cant remember to much about this one, It was a small site with not a lot of detail and clearly stripped of its assets. The school closed as part of the Welsh government's plan to combine Schools in Rural areas into Schools that stretch from Primary to the end of secondary. Anyway last time I...

This place is very stripped out and trashed so not a lot to photograph but it's only a 10 minute walk for us so we had to have a look when it became accessible. The whole place is steel boarded so lighting is poor and I didn't have my tripod with me hence the badly lit crappy photos! History -...

One from last year that I really wasn't expecting to be as good as it was. I had spotted this small Victorian primary school whilst heading back from another exploring trip earlier in the year however the daylight had almost vanished so I marked it on my map and put it aside for another day. On...

We had tried this place before when we were passing through but could never find a way in. It was only with luck as we had given up on the place. One night we were on our way to watch Easington play, so we had to pass the school and noticed an entry point. The day after we came back and managed...

This School was built in 1887 and closed in 2008. The School was built for the families of the local shipyard workers. It was left abandoned for a few reasons, 1. the decline in shipbuilding made alot of people move from the area. 2. and a new school was built in a different part of the town.
