Old School Chapel, Colchester, Essex -July, 2009

[Lightbuoy]

Had me eye on this one for quite a few years. Noticed earlier on this year that something was being done, as half the back wall had been ripped out! Looks like the place is in the process of being stripped and gutted-out (albeit at a snails pace). The School next door is still very much in use.

Approach in silence.....

First peek of the inside.....

Thanks for looking

Come on now, you can be honest -just admit you hide in the Library just before it closes at night!!!

Thanks klempner -I take it that when you said "very different", you were really saying -"thank goodness, it's not another Severalls Hospital report?"
Ta for the interest

Hi Madaxe. Thanks for the positive comments!
Well, it's funny you should ask, as I passed here at the weekend, and it's now got a large arched window at the rear (the same wall that had been partially demo'd). Got a few snaps. Will try to add them when I get a mo
