A now redundant part of Stoke-on-Trent college at Shelton which has lain empty for roughly two years. Many of the courses which were taught in this block have been relocated to the campus in nearby Burslem and others to the new 12 million pound learning and support hub. This particular block of the 'Cauldon Campus' is awaiting demolition to be replaced by 939 student flats. The building suffered fire damage early last year and despite looking pretty sound from the outside has taken major pikey and chav damage inside too.
Being in the area for another couple of locations, I thought it'd be rude not to have a look here too. Walking the perimeter was a bit iffy, especially with the 'live' site just a stones throw away and plenty of cars parked in close proximity. After a couple of laps around the outside I spotted an entry point and was in.
The exterior from the front
And we're in!
The destruction by the local idiots soon became apparent

Starting out on the first floor
'Green Room'
The old umbex chair down the corridor shot
Surprised to see how much student work was left lying around amongst the broken glass
There are at least 2 squatters currently living here. Scrunching about down the long corridors over the broken glass hoping not to come face to face with anyone was fun!
The ground floor was heavily boarded and was in complete darkness
'Organic Reactions at Advanced Level'
There were a couple of piles of photographs of people purchasing cartons of Ribena(?)
A couple of staircases at opposing ends of the building
One of which had a large OS map of Shropshire laid out in the middle of it
And lastly a quick look round the badly fire damaged section
Smashed, but a decent hours worth of sneaking around
