In my previous post we explored a rather boring ground floor of an abandoned school. This time it’s time to start ascending the stairs. There were large pupil made murals in the staircase. They were all very well done and quite spectacular. The first floor corridor was emptier, yet darker than the one on theContinue reading “The Quiet School by the Market Square Part II”

I also wonder, why they had a railway track upstairs and why a wall was built right acrossContinue reading “A Grand Piece of Sawdusty History Part II”
