Masonic Boys School - Jan 13

I wasn't going to post this on here as every Tom, Dick and Harriet has been here recently, plus I failed to get in the Chapel which was my main reason for visiting. However I crave your attention!

It was a the beginning of the year, and the first day there had been no rain or grey clouds for what seemed months. It was a great relaxed explore, even managed to wonder around the area were the peeps have moved in, wishing a happy new year to people in the apartments recovering from the night before. I must say it does look a fantastic place to live, that said I am sure they will enclose the place with a generic estate, chocking all the openness and charm from the place..

I won't bother about putting the history on here its been done by others, much better than I would do it too!

Instead this link gives an insightful look into the lives of former pupils at this place.

For the geeks out there. A Panasonic 3DO, a very expensive game console in its time.

Trying. Time and money always seems against me though.

Seeing your pics I feel like I haven't even been there!
Fantastic take on the place, photographed beautifully, love it!

Ahh, I did miss a fair bit, I never saw the gaming machines or that blackboard!

Have you managed to revisit yet for the chapel? I know it's a bit of a trek for you to revisit but thought I'd ask anyway

Excellent stuff mate
