My first report here. I had heard about a big old school that had shut down in the NE and I had to give it a visit. Unfortunately most of it was stripped out ready for renovation. I was hoping for ghosts but the only thing that spooked me were the horrible little motion sensors which were everywhere. Still a pretty cool trip overall. I took some photos on my 35mm too and I'll post some if any good ones turn out once I get them developed.

History

The Duke of Northumberland's school was founded in 1810 and opened in 1811 in Green Batt, Alnwick for the education of one hundred boys. The present school building was opened as a secondary school in 1903 and it was adopted by the LEA in 1919. After the county re-organisation for comprehensive education in 1974 it became one of the middle schools in Alnwick. The school shut in 2017 and there are plans to turn it into accommodation.

Yup, great way to open your 28DL report account. Wonder how long that lead stays on the roof for!

P.S. how the hell has someone got that metal sheeting off the chapel window

Nice opening report this. Shot 6 is very nice, with the crest, and clock and the balcony & chapel windows.

The only thing I would say is I wouldn't talk about ghost hunting on here. It doesn't go down well usually, but your report is so good, its hard to give a negative. But just for future reference really, as someone will no doubt pull you up on it. So heads up on that bit.

But great way to open your account and welcome to 28dl , look forward to more from you. :thumb

This is my old school. It’s bizarre seeing it like this. An update for anyone wanting to check it out: I had a walk around the grounds the other day and security is really stepped up. Fences all around the building now and a load of cameras.

When I went there was no access and security, looks a nice explore as well.
