The Seaton Project….
Possibly one of the weirdest explores I have ever been on
It was built in 1974 and acted as a Secondary School and Community Centre.
In 2000, the school closed and the community centre remained open and finally shut its doors in October 2010.
The building is to be demolished in the new year to make way for the “Aberdeen Aquatics Centre†– A new Olympic sized swimming pool, diving hall and a bridge connection to the city’s Sports Village.
The pool is lovely, well, one of the nicest left in Aberdeen believe it or not.
The closure of this one makes 4 left in the city[I think]. And 2 of them are due to close with council the council cuts.
Although a new one will be built on it’s place, it’s still sad to see this one go.
Now on to the School….
Parts of the building has been used over the years for various things, including Youth Groups, Adult learning classes and a creche.
This was a Recording Studio, all smashed up :/
Now for the best part….
The door to this area had been proper smashed in.
Someone wanted in here real bad!
My first reaction was WTF is this. Actually WTF.
It was some kind of excavation thing, stones, bones, human bones, animal bones, grave stones, boxes of stuff…..
After googling the words on this photo, I found out exactly what this was!
It was a gravestone from 1640 which was found during an Excavation at Kirk of St Nicholas in Aberdeen in 2006.
“Between January and December 2006, a team of archaeologists led by Aberdeen City Council's Archaeology Unit carried out a major excavation at Aberdeen’s historic Kirk of St Nicholas. It was the most extensive and productive excavation to have taken place within a Scottish medieval parish church in modern times.â€
“The initial 'post-excavation' process is now complete. Large numbers of objects are still undergoing conservation, while specialist examination of the 924 human skeletons found during the dig is almost finished.â€
And by the looks of things, it hadn’t been touched since 2007.
The council had a diary on their website, which also hadn’t been updated since 2007 so who knows :/
So it looks like the council was using this building to store the bones in and it's been forgotton about.... :crazy
It was like the excavation people just upped and left one day, there was even cups of mouldy tea and biscuits in the corner next to The Sun Newspaper dated 2007.
Weird eh!
Gotta love the bones =]
