I was a borstal boy 82/83 I was 15 and so couldn’t learn a trade there wasnt many of us that age so we were lumped into a classroom and basically sat about drawing ,,when we were marching outside older inmates would shout baby burglar at us , I was actually sentenced for nicking a hi viz vest from a council building but as I had previously been incarcerated in detention centre- short sharp shock ( shoplifting evo stik )Borstal it was! It was for me a scary period and probably still impacts me today, anyway thanks for the pics in some way seeing it’s ruins is quite cathartic

man that seems a bit harsh, considering it appears u can pretty much nick anything & get away with it these days.
always interesting to hear someone with a story from a place though. Thanks
