HOWBURY GRANGE SECONDARY SCHOOL - ASBESTOS FOR BREAKFAST

This is Howbury Grange High School, more later known as Slade Green Secondary School. It opened as a comprehensive school in 1950's and closed 1992 and then reopened some years later as a Pupil Referral Unit (For Disabled, challenged or kids kicked out of school.). It was opened as a PRU by the council and then had half of it's facilities used as a Community Centre and library. Despite this, it still retained most of the school features which really made me enjoy this tour. The centre was officially closed from the community in 2008 after finding lethal amounts of exposed asbestos http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/16...eturn_to_area/ with the pupil referral unit closing in 2011 as the last Year 11's left and the library closing in 2012 then moving in to the new site just up the road. I lost a big chunk of my hard-drive so I don't have too many pictures, but here:
