Was going to post in mini reports, but had a good few images over the limit so I couldn't
This was my old school, so doing this I felt a little nostalgic, considering I had eaten out of the place a year or two earlier and still remember the clatter of cutlery and the squeaks of the doors. It was sad to see the place in such a state, and I still regret even now never taking the massive opportunity that was the entire building while it still stood. I was inexperienced and scared, I didn't want caught or killed and I didn't own a camera but hey, when I did, this is all that was left :(
This is a bit of storytelling, I doubt many of you care but I just want it documented somewhere so maybe an ex-pupil or teacher can remember their old school.

- Final farewells.
A few days after this, it was finally pulled down.
It only lasted longer because it had a live substation underneath it, which flooded a few times and gave us a few days off :D:
My first "explore", only here to document it, etc
