After heading up for a festive week in Scotland with the girlfriend I had this place in mind. The weather was atrocious though and I half wondered if to bother. But the rain cleared my end and the snow that end was starting to thaw and I had some time spare so I made the small diversion. Set in the grounds of a large hall, the hall was given over in a lease to west riding council as a college to teach physical education. The school ran from 1949 to 1979 in the house, and expanded into the grounds,the lease was given up in 1988. On visiting here the explore is split into three bits. The modern accommodation blocks, the modern classrooms and pool, and finally in the stable blocks were the classrooms and big sports hall and changing rooms are. I decided to miss the accommodation blocks as they looked a bit boring and concentrate on the other two bits dude to time restraints. I was aware that builders are working on the place so had to play it carefully. Seemed nobody was about that day though which made it a bit more relaxing.
The modern block was a bit basic just breeze block rooms but what I came here to see was the large pool. It was a great time of day as the sun was getting low and making the colours nice.
The boiler house.
The changing rooms are starting to decay nicely.
Moving on to some of the classrooms.
