Sitting derelict and forgotten just off the old Rochdale to Bury road, Oakenrod school is actually quite nice. Built in 1908 and closed in 2004 the school contains tiles, corridors and a hall worthy of a mini asylum.

A nice explore and one well worth visiting if you are in the area.

More info on the school closure HERE (http://www.rochdaleobserver.co.uk/news/s/331/331891_merger_plan_to_close_schools.html)


The entrance corridor, lovely glazed bricks and tiles.

Outside, hidden and mostly below street level so hard to capture.
