Southern splore tour pt 3: Lillesden school for girls, Hawkshurst June 2012

[Sshhhh...]

After a failed attempt to get into babies castle, yes we are hanging our heads in shame but in our defense there was what looked like new boards up also we were spotted by some old dears, oh and the police were in the vicinity..honest the next port of call was Lillesden school for girls, a breeze in comparison. I was very impressed with this splore, not only was it in better nick than i expected(apart from upstairs, tempting but we avoided) but it had the added bonus of some fantastic artwork inside.At one point we thought we had the company of a security man until Altdayout saw a camera flash light up a wall and to Luckypants delight it was a tattooed legged lady with a short skirt doing a photoshoot!
A bit of history, please feel free to skip! Lillesden school for girls is a grade 2 listed french chateau style house set in 200 acres of gardens and forest. The Lillesden estate was bought by the banker Edward Loyd in 1853 and after marrying Caroline Louisa Foster on the 12th March 1846, he built the mansion which was completed in 1855. Ater the Great war, everything was sold and the mansion became Lillesden school for girls and then after that Bedbury public girls school. Unfortunately it closed in 1999.

Not too bad in most rooms downstairs, didnt venture onto the floorboards at the top of the stone stairs, they were a bit rough, didnt want to end up dangling like that baby doll

good job you guys!

Also the floorboards up the stairs are alright, especially in certain rooms, although i did end up going threw one floorboard, luckily only one leg went through! and a lucky hand getting out of the sticky situation.

I never did see the hanging mickey mouse...
Also you guys find anyone else lurking around?

 

[TeeJF]

Nice one! This building is absolutely lovely. We really enjoyed it whren we went and interestingly it doesn't look to have deteriorated too much in twelve months.

Well done.
