Hi all,
So this is my first post. I have been on numerous explores but not posted anything to this site yet, but this is where that changes...
I'm glad that I got to have a look around this place. I'd been wanting to get inside for a while but the mission of a journey had been putting me off. Inside, mould and decay are starting to take over some parts but that just made for some better & grimier photos! From the outside the building looks awesome and I didn't realise the scale of the place until I was standing in its shadow.
So here is some history on the building, although we all know this already...
The building has served as a manor house and a junior school, before being abandoned as a boarding school which was the subject of a 1988 BBC investigation for the television programme That's Life which led to three members of staff being convicted of sexual abuse. In 1990 the owner of the school, Philip Cadman, was sentenced to ten years in prison .The school has been abandoned since 1989. It was shut down after it was at the centre of the series of high-profile child abuse cases.
On with some snaps - I hope you enjoy!
