Hello, Everybody.
I hope you are all well... The last week I explored an abandoned orphanage/school. Here is the history...
Built as an orphanage between 1898 - 1899. The orphanage was designed to house 82 boys and 32 girls. The principle building contained accommodation for 50 boys in the left wing and 32 boys in the right wing, each wing forming a separate house with its own dormitories, dining room, playshed and other accommodation. The central tower contained administrative offices, with stores on the ground floor and a water tank at the top. The large gabled section that runs through the centre of the block contained a large hall for assemblies, services, teaching, and other similar activities. Girls were housed separately in the villa to the North of the main building. The building was converted into a residential home for children in the 1960s and eventually closed for good in the late 1990s.
The link to the video: Abandoned Orphanage/School.
While filming this video I was almost hit by a door that was close to falling, also during the end I heard footsteps and banging nearby. But, I really enjoyed exploring the structure and I am happy with the photographs/footage I was able to take.
Thank you and happy exploring!
