breaking and entering can land you 5 years at her majesty's pleasure...


today for one reason or another i found myself in the grade II listed lillesden school for girls, which was built in 1855. unfortunately i had no idea that i wouldve ended up here so i only had my sII hence the reason why the quality of the pictures are so bad and that they have been put through an android app (although i like what i have got).

its a great place to explore although you do take your life in your hands in some areas as the roof leaks and the structure has suffered a bit. after being 'caught' (i dont really think you can get caught if youre making no secret of being there) by a groundskeeper we decided to leave.

as well as being a beautiful building (even in disrepair) its also home to some amazing pieces of graffiti. some people have a porblem with it but considering the building has been left to become totally derelict i dont think i can really have a problem with it.
if you would like to see anymore pictures of the site then go here. this persons work captures the building perfectly. 

interesting what you find in these places
it did, however, make me wonder what happens to buildings when they become derelict like this. who uses them and what for. almost like what happens to an animal when it dies, the corpse becomes host to all manner of insects and other life.
