After the mammoth daytrip to West Park we (me, Dr.Doo, MagooČ and Scary Mary) decided a travellodge would be a better idea for Hellingly and thanks to this we were inside by 7.15am and had the place to ourselves for a few hours before the hoards of posh-kid explorers in designer jeans invaded.

on with the pics...
The beautiful tiles in admin are being systematically removed as souvenirs. A crying shame as for every whole tile removed half a dozen lay shattered on the floor. Whatever happened to take nothing but photos?
Some of the graffiti and large photographic montages here are extraordinary. Not mindless tagging, in my opinion, a valid artform in an appropriate setting.
Thanks for looking. Sure the others will have some pics to add.
