***EDIT - Appologies - pictures ASAP when I put them back in the right photobucket Album ***
Visited with Lost and Zimbob!
Real ace place! The academy is a 30's art-deco style school that over the years has seen loads of kids come and go, including a few of my pals from my uni course. Now though, it has a swanky new replacement sitting just opposite in the playing fields, and now the original school is getting demolished.
It's a big place, a lot bigger than I expected. Due to extreme exposedness round the outside and also the fact demolition folk stayed a lot longer than we'd hoped, it was hard to stay discrete and with the usual curtain twitchers out on force, it was quite tough. Once in, we were immediately faced with police / security walking up the path, so it was a 15 minute sit down in the bushes, before finally getting in to the school! :thumb
