| Formerly King Edwin school and Bishopsmill school . The successor to Saltergill school . Closed in 2008 as far as I can make out . During construction of a new extension in 2003 over 100 skeletons were discovered in an early Christian burial site . Not one room in this place is intact and there isn’t that much of interest in the place , still not touched by the metal thieves though . The school . The gym . Dining hall Catchers mask . An ancient sack barrow , it may have been found during the excavation of the burial ground . Corridor of broken windows . A telephone recess , with no telephone or any sign of any removed telephone points . I can only think that it was a alternative to the naughty step . Chemistry class . Speaker . Skull . Key room . That’s the interesting ones` | |

MrD The approval has gone through for the demo in the council record , but i couldn't be bothered wading through the 1000's of pages to find it , it's on an ancient burial ground . they can't build on the fields , demo will cost a fortune . the archaeology will run into the millions for any work on the site . It's either renovation or this site is going to get a new Saltergill school style thread going on | |
