The Freemasons school & Chapel, September 2012

[sj9966]

Built in 1903 by the Freemasons as a school for boys. At it's peak it had 800 students but then a decline in pupil numbers caused it to close in 1977.

For a while it was an International University and it is now partially converted and partially stripped / derelict. The highlight of the place being the Chapel.

It's a shame we didn't get to this one earlier as I imagine it would have been awesome at one time, but too be honest the parts that are left mostly stripped out, although the main hall is pretty cool.

The place has been used for numerous films & tv shows, most notably Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade.

Visited with Rusty & Andre Govia.

The impressive front building & clock tower has already been converted
