Abandoned Construction Building

Guildford College held a sale on Saturday to sell off as much construction material as it could, having closed down the building and moved the course a few years ago.

It was a great chance to have a nose round the abandoned floors and take photos.

Some room were so low that a hard hat would have been useful. It felt like a subterranean boiler room in places.

These are cute little sub-divided pretend room-ettes for students to practise their decorating skills in.

The view over the roof

Weird little floor level roof and chimney, literally at your feet as you walk along to enter the building.

And view from the top floor of the building, out across Guildford with the Cathedral a distant point on the horizon.

The land has been sold by the college for flats (I'm assuming for demolition and rebuilding rather than re purposing), although I'll be surprised if what replaces it will be as strong and sturdy as what is demolished, but then that's progress for you.

More goodies to follow soon as I show you some of the treasure and trash within.
