Right, here goes with my first write up of an urban exploration 
Accrington and Rossendale college, Eagle street.
The now abandoned Eagle street building of Accrington and rossendale college was left to rot when the college expanded it's campus to accomodate all of the facilities located at Eagle street within it's main campus on Sandy Lane.
The building is well hidden, accessible by a large gate located just left of the top entrance to the train station. We found the building quite by accident. Infact none of us even knew it existed.
Summer 2006. After a long skate around the town we were heading towards Accrington Skatepark (Two minutes up the road from eagle street) when we spotted a roof that was skateable. After finding a way into the college compound and having a dynamite sesh on the roof. We realised we were standing in the now redundant old college grounds. We found a way in through an unlocked door labeled "13"
We entered.
I'll let the following images tell the rest of the story.
the outside of the building (note the roof we were skating)
back of the building (and what was the way in)
generator building
generator building stairs
both buildings
one of the construction areas
Same room, opposite end
another construction teaching area
garage workshop - with pits!
corridor
dark corridor
broken glass
unfortunately after we left, other people found they're own ways in. We returned a week later and the rooms had been trashed.
Not just little bits of damage, were talking thousands of pounds worth.
The owners of the building were there, and we stopped and had a talk with them. As you can guess they weren't too happy with the damage done.
The area is now a popular site for "gypsie" caravans and is all locked off.
