Long dark corridors, Champness Hall is a maze of them. Where there was once lots of hustle and bustle, they now sit in eerie silence. Down the corridor lovingly named ‘The Spooky Corridor’ there is only one way in and one way out, testing the nerves of even the bravest #photo #eerie #spooky

In a quiet back staircase of Champness Hall sat a broken and bruised memorial. A haunting reminder of those that had given the ultimate sacrifice. It lay for years, covered under delicate layers of cobwebs, until it was rescued. #history #rescued #restore #haunting #beautiful #photograph

Down the dark, winding corridors and staircases of Champness Hall, there are glimpses of history. Intricate hidden stained glass windows, made by the hands of those now long gone. Photography courtesy of students from The Creative Youth Company Champness Hall #history #picture #hidden
