This is my first proper exploration, any comments advice greatly revieved.
On this sunny alutumn afternoon I decided to drive down to Portsmouth as I had heard a rumor the Highbury College of further education in Cosham, north of Portsmouth, had closed after 40 years. Being a student there in the 90's I wanted to see for myself.
The college has moved to a new multi million pound site next door leaving the old site totally abandoned. Most of the 14 acre site is freely accessable with no difficualty in finding a point of entry.
I did hear workmen on site who appeared to be taking great relish in knocking seven bells out of every internal wall, who I managed to skirt round. I later found out they are checking for asbestos
Some of the site looks untouched but various places have been visited by chav firestarters and mindless jobs who just wanted to trash as much as they could
Anyway on with the photos
Main enterance
New buildings, even these are going to be demolished
Just as the last studends left it
Nice spriral stairwell
Portable??
Internal pipes
The usual corridor shot
Student's work left in classroom
Lest we forget
CCTV room
Can you describe your key?
Engineering gagues
I'm not going to be the butt!
.
Well, this is just a small sample of the photos taken over a two and a half hour explore of this site.
