Wow. This was my school from 1994-1999. If/when you next go, count me in.

This place is about
5 mins from me. Didn't even know it was there. Would love to explore it.

 

[slayaaaa]

Not the easiest of places but it's fun

Nice work. Great to see the old place again. It's been about 30 years! Any shots of inside the clock tower?

Yeah of course. I'll just get some.

A few from inside the tower as requested.

From the bottom of the ladder

The door to the tower from inside

The clock mechanism and drive cogs, mechanism has been long gone by the looks of it which is a shame
Very poor image but it's all I could do with the phone.

One of the rooms inside

Here's some of the steps up, unsure what the blur is just top left and don't say it's ghost...

Cheers, hope you like them, I have more pics if others what to see anything specific.

Ah yes remember the climb up that old ladder, in particular the load of crud that fell in my eye when looking up lol.

Really wonderful but emotional photos! I was an ex pupil at this school, I finaihed about 2 years before the school closed. I went into the school grounds about a year ago but not in any of the buildings, would be interesting though!

If you have any more photos could you email me them please?!

Yes, Dave. We were in MA together weren't we? Mrs Mullens was our tutor.

I drove passed the site a few weeks ago. I'm still genuinely interested in going and having a look around if anyone else is?.
