ON THE SECOND VISIT SOME OF THE LOCALS TURNED UP SO THE GEAR WENT AWAY QUICKTIME, BUT BY THEN WE HAD SEEN ALL WE NEEDED TO. PROBABLY 80 PER CENT OF IT WAS DERP, BUT WE WANTED TO CATCH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THE OLDER SIDE HAD STRONG ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND HAD BEEN CONVERTED INTO CLASSROOMS FROM GEOGRAPHY TO COOKERY. THE MODERN SIDE HAD A SCIENCE BLOCK, ENGINEERING, LIBRARY AND POLICE SECTION, A HAIR SALON / BEAUTY PARLOUR AND MORE. WE SCORED IT A 6, ON THE COUNTS OF SOME UNIQUE FEATURES, A COW FEATUS, AND A SAUNA BOX ALONG WITH THE REMNANTS OF A SET FOR "EXTREMIS", THE SCRIPT AND ACTORS GUIDE WAS LYING IN A ROOM WHICH WE FOUND, AND THERE WERE ALL SORTS OF TEST TUBES AND STUFF FOR VINCE TO PLAY AROUND WITH...
