so another adventure in our area!!! first a little history....

Located at Harpur Hill, Buxton, This was formerly known as the High Peaks College, and became part of the University of Derby in 1998. A variety of courses were studied there, namely business, hairdressing and beauty, languages and catering. The campus was closed in 2006 and relocated to buxton itself on the new devonshire campus.

The site is now trashed. It has been absolutely smashed up and stripped for all its copper etc, most windows and doors are smashed it, including even in the dorms upstairs. The building visited were the science block, admin block, main block and the old beauty college. Even in the horrendous state its in it was definately worth a visit we were there a good 3 hours. picked the perfect morning to go, warm sunshine, which was needed with the very shelter offered by the site.

windows all smashed
