Report - Harrogate Tutorial College Harrogate June 2019

[MarkusCP87]

Came across this one by chance, done a few places in Harrogate and never even knew this place existed.
Quite liked this one, haven't done many colleges, so was different to the hotels and house I always seem to do.
Explore took about an hour to do, place was pretty trashed,however for a college that closed in 2004 I'm surprised it's not worse.
Libary was the best part, most the books still on the shelves.
Found a bit of info online after the explore.
The College was used to help students with there GCSEs and A Levels. Subjects like Chemistry, Art and Languages were covered.
Got plenty pics inside, hope yous like

Great pics! Just got back from here. It’s in such a bad way and sad to see but good to take a look.
I’ll be interested in other places in Harrogate you’ve been to in Harrogate.. especially hotel, I really would love to see an abandoned hotel as I work in hotels.
Thanks for sharing.

I was a student here years ago and got into UrbEx much later. I knew the building had closed but didn't know a lot of it was accessible still. I know the Wiki page said it closed in 2004, but it was closed a lot later as far as I know. I was there for the 2006-2007 to 2007-2008 years and the latest year was apparently 2011-2012.

A more recent news article about it said people started a fire in 2017 for the sake of it https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/15...elieved-to-have-been-started-by-young-people/

It was purchased for flats but the building is not being used for them and is not being demolished. I'm surprised all those books were left. I wonder if they were sold before demolition.

Demolition starts as former Harrogate college makes way for flats - The Stray Ferret

Demolition work has started at a former Harrogate college, which will make way for eight apartments in the St George's area of town.
