This site started out life as Leicester College of Technology. It was later Charles Keene College until 1999 when they merged with Southfields college, becoming Leicester College (Abbey Park Campus). The oldest part of the site was built around 1904 as the Lero power station for the city tramways, this closed in 1938 and was taken over by the city education committee. In January 2009 the Abbey Park campus moved into a new building on the site of the old car park. We have been keeping an eye on the place since, but the security measures stopped the place being explored. Looking through windows it could always be seen the place was mint and still full of stuff, even down to cars in the mechanics workshops. This week demolition has started to we were straight down there, though tragically most of the stuff had been cleared out 
Still interesting though as I used to visit the place occasionally back when I was a student lol
