St. Edward's Boys Home - Coleshill - April 2011

[Derelict-UK]

Thanks goes out to 4737carlin for unknowingly informing me about this place, I can confirm it is still there:D

Compared to previous reports, you can no longer access the main 2 buildings unless you have freakish spiderman skills!!

There is loads of history on other peoples reports, if you google 'St Edward's Boys Home Coleshill' you will find it.

Briefly it was founded in 1902 and closed in 1996. In 1998 a priest was convicted of abusing 18 children there between 1957 and 1965.
