It's the first school I have done but it was really enjoyable, hospitals are great too, Lancaster Moor was a awesome day :) I remember your West Malling video back in the day, I think that was a hospital from memory :)
Omg just watched your video.. I used to go to elms primary school so watching your videos brought back a lot of memories!! It was such an amazing school. Thanks for your vid
1960-1966 the whole of the ground floor was the infants (no specialist/nursery classes in those days). The upstairs was the juniors, but they had to build an annexe on the front lawn and take over an old Victorian school to provide about six extra classrooms. Much of the grounds have been built on, needed a lot of outdoor space for that many of us!
@@ALWResearchTeam Please can I ask where you got the photo of the school in it's prime. I'd like to get hold of a copy to remember the good times. Many thanks.
I attended infants and juniors here from 1986-1992,... the dinner halls were the smaller one was for infants and larger one for juniors.... the kitchen was a rhrough kitchen serving both halls.... the back end of the school was a special needs and deaf school section and was out of bounds to any of us. Mr Normington was head throughout my attendance at this school and have many fond memories
Hello there, thanks for getting in touch. The school felt like it was a nice community when it was open. I’m please we could possibly bring back happy memories for you.
Omg I remember Mr Normington, he was such a good head teacher, and I was also there when it changed to miss Smith she was also really good, does anyone remember how fun Christmas was at that school… I was there from 95-2001 and loved it
This was my old primary school and we managed to get in years ago before all the graffiti. It was still f*cked but there were a couple of rooms that were pretty clean. I've got a video on my channel but it's only of how we got in, I've got loads of old videos of inside too, just need to edit them together and upload it. We nicked a whiteboard and some really long wide window blinds lol I wouldn't really call it stealing cuz they would have been smashed/sprayed up anyway. Cool video, nice to see someone else having a look around. Peace.
Quite an interesting layout of the building and such a massive school. The vandals have certainly had a good time in there. I really enjoyed this. Thank you!
Hello Burning Sands :) It really was a massive explore and both Paul and I really enjoyed the building and grounds. Thank you for watching and commenting.
It was my old primary school - was there from 2003 till it's closed. I always remember it being so huge😅 it was a great school , we were taught British Sign Language extensively which is something most schools don't do
Hello there, it sure is a huge school, Paul the photographer found a bunch of slides with sign language on in one of the rooms. It looked like it was a big happy school. Where the new apartments nearby built on the playing fields?
@@ALWResearchTeam Nah from what i remember that was always just a big concrete carpark or something. The proper playing field is, if your going up that hill by the side of the school, to the left just there.
Hello there, it certainly felt like the school had been loved by the people who were educated and worked at the school. Thank you for watching and commenting :)
A strange design of a building. Governmental burocracy and health and safety stops the building from being used. There are a lot more like this. Hospitals swimming pools fire stations police stations you name it
Asbestos is a very real risk, it causes a unique and nasty form of lung cancer as bad as smoking related lung cancers with lots of pain and hemorrhaging. The effects often don't show for decades either so sometimes there is no way to know when and where the person was exposed, as buildings age it can cause exposure. The sooner we are rid of it the better, its ruined countless lives, both direct victims and their families.
When I was there in 1993, there was a long steep grass bank along one end of the playground. In summer all the kids would play up on there. Sports days and some outdoor P.E. lessons took place on a small playing field just down the hill on the left.
Hello there, yes it is a shame that it closed at all, now it has been made safe it'll eventually become housing i guess. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@ALWResearchTeam of love. Too easy. Lots of those man parts today, People have to ruin, right old mess. Shame this is too far, worth a look. We got nothing looking at explore web sites, limited things around here. Lovely view some of the flats go. Straight into the old classrooms. No good for wandering around, The kitchen area, could get seen.
I went to this school in the early 80s and left in 86 remember it really well and it's such a shame this school closed and an even bigger shame the building is due for demolition An art deco building of beauty this and should have been repurposed
Is this legal ?
Asbestos in schools stops the children burning too quickly.
I WENT TO this primary in st anns carnmer street. watching this brings bk so many memorys
Something about old schools and hospitals just love them :) great explore folk :)

Ah that’s interesting. I recall not seeing much space for play time

You were there when my sisters were there. The legend himself Mr Normington. They dont have heads like that any more
My sister and I were there when Mr. Normington was headteacher too, in 1993 I believe. He was a good'un.
Omg I remember Mr Normington, he was such a good head teacher, and I was also there when it changed to miss Smith she was also really good, does anyone remember how fun Christmas was at that school… I was there from 95-2001 and loved it
Great to hear you have good memories
What a beautiful building! It would have been beautiful in its heyday
Yes definitely. It still is inside. Thank you so much for watching and commenting
@@ALWResearchTeam ahh no worries! Love your videos. My boy loves learning about bunkers and things. Really great video (as always!) have a great day
Thank You

Awesome Andy man 😃 ❤ 👍 nice drone shots too
Glad you enjoyed it Lewis, I've never done a school before so it was a new experience.
Good Video,
That school was a big old place in it's day...
Hello Eddie K. Yes it certainly was. Thanks for watching and commenting
I went there between 94/95 but none of this is familiar to me. So sad! I remember my teacher called Mr Moody. 😢
Mr. Moody was a great teacher. He was mine in 1993.
brilliant explore its a shame to see buildings wrecked by vandals
Wow what a video. I bet back in it's day {before all the rot and vandalism.} It's was stunning!

That's done it Andy detention for you now 😂
This is it lol :) Thanks for watching and commenting

It was a strange design. The layout took up so much space there wasn’t any field space for the children to play on grass

@@ALWResearchTeam We built this on Minecraft haha

@SnowdropWood I seem to remember seeing the long steep grass bank between shoots when looking around.
Cracking large old building - shame it sits in this state while waiting for someone to actually do something with either the building or the land.

What a waste. So will go in the end. A bit far, was temped. There it is. 5:59. I noticed, always somewhere.
I do leave clues in for you :) it’s a fun thing to do. I’ll have a tunnel for you to find in a few weeks ;)
