Lesmahagow High School - Nov. 2008

[BenCooper]

This was an unplanned visit on the way back from somewhere else - I can't find much history on the place, but it's basically a lovely Victorian school with a couple of big '60s extensions. The whole lot is now empty as a brand new school has been built next door.

The old and new buildings:



A lovely stairwell in the old building:



The Art Department:



A long (and very exposed) bridge leading to the newer building:



There was lots of this kind of glass and wood:



The Home Economics Department:



A Business Studies classroom:



And there was still a load of stuff strewn about...



As usual, there's more pictures in my Flickr set...

Its a shame the place has been trashed like that. Thanks for sharing all that.

Another that has ended up a pile of rubble as of a month or two ago!

Even the Victorian bit? Philistines.

Not sure, Skin took some pics of them demolishing it & if the weather's ok I maybe down that way so will try & take a look, although if the demo crew are there a proper look will be a no go!
