The Visit
After a failed attempt of getting inside this place a few months, we thought we'd give it another try as its in the middle of a rough-as-toast area of Sheffield and inevitably, people will always find their way into places such as this. After finding a way in I was immediately underwhelmed by the inside of this place - a little like Denbigh Asylum, it looks amazing from the outside but the inside offers little other than empty rooms, delicate floors and a musky smell.
The History
This old school building was designed by the architects Innocent and Brown and opened in 1875. In 2003 the school was moved to a new, purpose-built building on Andover Street, built on the former St Catherine's RC Primary School site. The original school building is now Grade II listed. It stands in a prominent position on the hillside with great views across the city with plans to convert it into apartments.
