St. John the Baptist School, Wigan - May 2016

The Explore
This place seems to be the flavour of the day and is popping up everywhere recently. I loved the look of this place, nice to see decay without lots of vandalism so thought I'd pop over and have a look. Really quite enjoyed it, nice character to it

The History
Really struggling to find any proper history on this school, last updates on some sites are around 1999 so maybe it closed around then. Only bit I have found is that it had 220 students at its peak and age range was 3-11

I didn't realise this place was so small, it looks huge on the inside

Nicely shot - You're right, I'm now sick of seeing it everywhere on facebook, almost wish i'd not done a report.

I can see why people are flocking to this place to be fair, it does look highly photogenic...

Reminds me of Easington a little in the pictures, must stop by at some point.

Nice pics Brian
