Actually, it's just the lower school site located on Broadway in Chadderton. This part of the borough of Oldham has much to offer for the busy explorer from mills to drains, schools and a drive-thru McDonalds, sadly, they don't have a Tesco store nearby.

Visited with Sheep2405, Bungle, Smileysal, Scrappy, FknSamuelBonney, Private Piles, Peanuts, Andyj23UK.

We were passing so thought it would be rude not to stop by and have a look, the lower school site only closed a matter of months ago and is in a pretty reasonable condition given the area. Notable alumni include Vera Baird (MP and author) and..err..Jondoe264 (Drain0r) :p.

Not too many pics I'm afraid but here ya go.

Was so glad we spotted this as we were all driving by. A quick turn in the road, and park up and had a look around. Was great, so many things still left there. Loved the school hall, and the gym, loads of things in there to keep us amused lol. Climbing ropes, walkig along beams, climbing up step ladders, playing basketball, then finding loads of check skirts in the back room :neutral:

Loved all the classrooms with the desks still in there, and the labs with all the worktops and cupboards. Loads of maths books, (my teen would have had a field day in there reading the maths books lol).

Excellent pics hun, like the one with the everyone smiles :mrgreen: Had the task of writing everyones name on the whiteboard too.

Was an excellent find and a brilliant end to a great day. Really enjoyed meeting everyone.

Cheers,

:) Sal

good pics guys, was a great meet, did a bit that day! did enjoy the comedy values of the mill myself! not got any of my photos up yet but soon will!
 
It was a really good weekend, considering it was a drain weekend we got a variety of stuff done.
 
Ha, no doubt this will still be around when next I'm in Manc, within a month or so. I'm not much of a one for topside but this is somewhere I'd love to go nostalgia trippin. Those pics alone drag me right back to school boy doe.
