History

Jameah Islameah School was an independent Islamic school in East Sussex. The school was located on a 54 acre site and had residential facilities to house male students aged 11 to 16. The school was independently owned and the proprietor functioned as the principal. In December, 2005, Jameah Islameah was inspected by the Office for Standards in Education which noted that it "does not provide a satisfactory education for its pupils. At the time of the inspection, the school had nine students.

According to BBC News the school purported to teach students to become Islamic leaders, training them to the level high enough to teach in local Masajeds and Madares.[

There had been allegations that the school was used in the training and recruitment of terrorists. According to testimony from Al Qaeda suspects held at Guantanamo Bay, in 1997 and 1998, Abu Hamza[disambiguation needed] and groups of around 30 of his followers held terrorist training camps at the school, including training with AK47 rifles and handguns, as well as a mock rocket launcher.[4] In 2003 or 2004, the grounds of the school were used for an Islamic-themed camping trip, at which Omar Bakri Mohammed lectured. The trip, which was advertised by word-of-mouth, was attended by 50 Muslim men, most of whom were members of al-Muhajiroun. Bakri claimed the activities at the camp included lectures on Islam, football, and paintballing.[5]

On 1 September 2006 the Jameah Islameah school was searched by up to a hundred police officers as part of their operations, although no arrests were made. The local Sussex Police held a cordon around the site for 24 days in an operation that cost them over one million pounds. Meanwhile the Metropolitan Police searched the buildings and grounds and the lake.

On the evening of 2 September over 40 police officers entered a south London halal Chinese restaurant called The Bridge to China Town and, after talking to customers for over an hour, arrested twelve on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. Two further arrests were made elsewhere in London.

By 6 September two men had been released.

Visit

Myself and The_Raw visited this place a few weeks ago (Warning this place is live, We got spotted and spoken to by guy, people working in there, and some bedrooms being in use, also wet footprints from a shower room - Hence the non public section)

Stress levels where rather high on this one, due to the place being live and what it was suspected to be involved with in the past, we persevered regardless and was awarded with a nice building and some rather good photo opportunities (no page 3, as I didn't fancy getting caught naked in this place)

Some areas are obviously abandoned and a little search in one room, made for a surprise to say the least

Nice to see the bedrooms, we avoided them because they had people in them! It's certainly an edgy explore isn't it! Lots of fun though, cracking set of pics too.
