Big ups to Northern Ninja for this, when we visited together a few weeks ago.
This school was built in 1903, as an Independent school for boys. By 1939, the school educated 800 pupils.
A junior school was built on site in 1929, but by 1970 it closed due to dwindling numbers. The senior school followed suit in 1977. Sometime after this, the site was used by the United States University Academy, but closed in 2007.
The site is being converted into apartments in 2012.
I found this and dug it out from under the stage
Awesome service tunnels!
Sadly no way into the tower
