It feels nice to be back home exploring

:p although today of all days I refuse to use the term 'easter eggsploring'.I bailed out of doing this place twice in months past as it is situated on a very busy residential road so never found the right time to access the place, but Easter Sunday seemed like a good bet and so I finally did along with Mr. OverArch. To be honest it was a let down, it looks like such a great building from the outside with the clock tower and everything but the inside is screwed - the floors are riddled with dry rot so only a couple of the concrete-floored classrooms and the corridors are safe to walk on. No access up the clock tower either...well there was, but looking at the state of the ladders brought back bad memories from Birkenhead's Central Hydraulic Tower so was an instant no...

Fibbersley Park Primary School closed around 2010 or 2011, and in 2013 the building containing the hall/gymnasium was destroyed in an arson attack and subsequently demolished.

Not a huge amount to see as it's been largely stripped of everything, but it satisfied my curiosity at least.

A few more here :p https://www.flickr.com/photos/mookie427/sets/72157651314317107/

After visiting I showed OverArch around George Dykes just down the road and took a few highly inappropriate images involving the 'gentlemans reading material' littered around the place.

It does look rather nice on the outside, but you got some nice shots inside, love the blackboard! I think satisfying curiosity is what "eggsploring" is all about regardless of what we uncover :)

Beautiful looking place from the outside but you got a decent collection of pics despite the inside :)

Looks like a nice wee eggsplore :D

Quite nice still, the corridor reminds me of the one at bellboys.

What a fantastic post!! I loved watching these photographs. It reminds me of my preschool days. My parents had enrolled me to best Phoenix preschool. They also have collected loads of photographs of my childhood.
