Eastmoor community home; previously known as Eastmoor Approved School and before that Eastmoor Reformatory.

Approved Schools and Reformatories were what was commonly known as Borstals. It was a specialist school and was used to teach you a trade; Building, Carpentry, Engineering etc. There were 60 children aged between 11 & 17 housed here, 30 to each wing and 2 wings. The building closed it's doors for the last time in the late 70's to early 80's and has been moderately used by the Police Dog team. Newer parts of the site were used as student accommodation till closing in the 90's.

Parts of the site are well torched and trashed but there's still quite a few nice features remaining in the older, main building. Access was a bit tricky as there seemed to be a recent spate of boarding going on and the pool access had a nice shiny steel plate welded sheet over it!
