Visited last month with yorkietommo, forgot I did it!, It's a big explore and only did half of it, the Police have been using it for training at some point. History-
Opening in 1857 as “Leeds Reformatory for Boys” but later becoming “Eastmoor Approved School”. Originally when it was operating as “Leeds Reformatory for Boys” a child under 14 would be sent here for ‘crimes’ such as:
•Begging
•Wandering
•Consorting with thieves
However when it began operating as “Eastmoor Approved School” and later “Eastmoor Secure Unit” it began to house criminals of a more devious nature including Jon Venables (One of Jamie Bulger’s killers)
After it was closed as a childrens home it was used as a university campus by the University of Leeds up until 2003 when a new campus was opening.
Buildings included a swimming pool, dentists, church (later used as a gym), laundry and of course staff housing.
Sorry forgot externals and my white balance was cocked so its all a bit bluueee..
