My second 'explore', much has been written about Lillesden already so I will keep the history short: The school occupies what used to be the Lillesden Estate Mansion, built at the estate (south of Hawkhurst) in 1855 by the banker Edward Loyd, who moved there after marrying. The house and estate remained in the family until just after the First World War, when it was then sold and eventually became the Bedgebury Girls Public School. The school closed around 1999 and has been abandoned ever since.

There building has suffered even since previous reports in August this year, lots of water on the first floor and some 'weird' set ups in some of the room, noted on my images. I enjoyed my explore, solo, and have to say that it has left an impression on me. Here are the images:

This is made up from video/cassette tape, no idea what it is supposed to be!

Wonky table, does the red wool symbolise blood?

This I found really strange, Chinese lanterns, broom handles and a length of plastic pipe! I do like the graffiti on the far wall

Nice enough the processing is a bit heavy on the last shot but that's just my opinion. Chinese pipe and lantern room its the last thing

Looks like some kind of modern installation art?
