Eerie photos from inside former Simpson Street School before large fire damaged building
Striking photos of the inside of the former Simpson Street School in recent years before the building was damaged by a fire have been shared on Urban Explorer forums.
The roof of the Grade II listed building was severely damaged by a blaze that began on Tuesday, January 28, and saw firefighters battled for more than five hours to extinguish.
These photos taken in 2017 by a forum user called Dave show inside the abandoned school.
