Closed some years ago amidst allegations of some untoward activities of the carers St.Edward's home for boys has lain derelict. Visited with Rigsby and Tunnel Lover it made for a good post piss up explore, even if we did have some navigational errors getting there
That'll teach me not to be in control of directions. Worth a visit for some of the craziest period wallpapers i have seen. Anyway on with the pics..
ominous front door
courtyard walkway
amazing wallpaper
drying racks in laundry
kitchen
chapel door
vestry window, as like the chapel windows although it would appear that the stained glass ones have now been removed
detail in cornice work round the chapel
peely goodness
crosses everywhere
more funky wallpaper
admin office
nice corridors
happy colours
