I like the way the explorers went from "This place feels like an asylum" to "I could live here." Neatly sums up my emotional journey as a pupil, lol. It's really sad to see a beautiful historic building, one that holds cherished memories for thousands of people, in such a neglected state.

It's a bit of a shame isn't it 😕

Thank you for this! I was at Friends School 1975 - 1982 - This brought tears but also fascinating - so many memories (mostly good!) The large two tier room was our girls dorm - called 'the barn'.

The Governors should be ashamed. The number of times they said, “nothings wrong with this” made me so angry.As for the Art Room! This is so sad.

It was a shame to see all the art going to waste, some nice pieces there

And we thought that the school was never to be sold for housing. How wrong we were. One wouldn't want to live on Mount Pleasant Road now, not so pleasant when the houses are built, nor on Radwinter road when the old printing works site is finished being built on. Someone has sold their soul to the devil in SW these days.

I went to school there from 1983 to 1987…mixed feelings as I have not been back there, until I saw your film…… So many memories, difficult and hard, voices and smells, running down all those stairs…. and I am sad that it will be demolished. If it wasn’t for all those quiet corners, the pet shed, understanding teachers, the art department and a kind tolerant Headmaster, I wouldn’t be doing what I do today. When I left, I scratched my initials and date on a brick..

An amazing place, if only walls could talk, imagine all the history since its opening in the 1880's, I bet that would make an interesting night time visit, probably get quite a few "paranormal" experiences ! Well done Will, another cracking video and explore, keep 'em coming. 😉

You were puzzling over why there was a bedroom attached to the bathroom. The bathroom used to be a boys dorm, and the door was a fire exit which went through the then deputy heads flat.

Sadly judi dench didn’t go here (though I wish she did! The red room just before 25:00 was a common room for year 9 and 10 - the room at the other end of the corridor was 10 and 11s. There were lockers and benches all round the room before. The room at 32:00 was the dining hall - very hogwarts with long wooden tables and benches.

Odd that an urbex spots a plan of the building and just leaves it! As I understand it, the main building is not being demolished but will, in due course, be converted to flats. It will need significant re-wiring and re-plumbing. (1966-1973)
