3:49 Those mattresses are in better nick than the one I'm lying on now watching this! Thank you boys for a craic-er of an explore. What you said in the Outro saved me from typing out the same thoughts. Mystical, magical, real. What a waste.
Just to clarify that this isn't in Northern Ireland but in the North of ROI - probably wouldn't have been many schools in NI with Irish language signage back then. This was used as the main boarding school for boys from the offshore islands 'nearby' (they weren't very nearby) and it was hated by pretty much everyone who had to be separated from their parents to go there. The main islands now have secondary schools of their own
That wasn't just an Atari Keyboard, that's the entire computer there, Atari 520ST. Likely from the music school days as they were a cheap way to do midi.
Thanks Lads for the past 6 weeks of constant videos. It was sad to see this building just slowly rotting away, yet at one time if would have been full of young kids trying to get a good start to life. Thanks for all your hard work
Really sterling work, the care in both the exploration and editing of the videos really shows. Commercially I reckon this summer push will also be well worth the extra effort and you'll be deservedly above the 100k mark soon!
hi Abandoned from Australia I have enjoyed your video content and all the places you have explored this video that you have shown of the old boarding school was great it was a shame that it was fall inside and collapsing and nature has taking it back hope to see you soon in the next video
@@Urbandoned I suppose they are two of the plants on the lower end of the plant ladder so to speak. Lichen (my personal favourite are at the bottom with mosses and then ferns which love the damp and the longer it’s left the more soil you begin to get aand end up with small plans like ivy, then a small holly and trees. Nature just takes over eventually
Thank you Guys for another Friday Treat. I really love your channel and presentation - enough to be informative and interesting without duplicating rooms. You channel holds a uniqueness to hold the viewers interest while providing a documentary and time lapse in real time. All the best M
Hi Alistar how are you doing mate? Great video as always well edited with perfect background music added in the explore around this abandoned boarding school plus this is the last video every week for 6 weeks this summer i want to say thanks for the amazing videos each week for the 6 weeks of constant videos uploaded to the channel through the summer, its a real shame that this boarding school has been hidden and abandoned for a long time in really poor condition plus falling down in places but kind of stripped plus empty was cool to find the old washing machines still inside the washing room as these could still be used also was really cool to see some of the old fashioned computers and crt pc monitors still inside the building sitting there gathering dust and yellowing in places but where the stairs was the paint is coming off plus the plaster is coming off the ceiling too really sad that in the 2000s it was shut for good plus left derilict for ages anyways hope your having a good afternoon so far Alistar and keep up the great content on your channel as its so enjoyable to watch 👍
Cracking pal. Glad you enjoyed the video and the releases through Summer. Yes, the artefacts remaining in the school were interesting to see, especially because they were coated in decay
"An Halla Mor" in the atrium means "The Great Hall". It's a shame these places are just left to deteriorate. Lots of the furnishings and objects are valuable and could be repurposed. The fireplace surround at 16:42 would be very valuable. Probably has lots of asbestos, lead paint and mould that would need to be removed.
Regarding your comment on structural integrity don’t forget that the older part of the building had been built a much longer time ago than the modern stuff and at an educated guess was probably at least in some state of disrepair long before the whole thing was closed.
100%! It was interesting to see a slight difference even between the modern dormitory block and the older school region, let alone the tragic state of the manor
Let me get this right, you go round entering abandoned buildings illegally (you know its illegally because in this video you mentioned having to avoid the cameras to gain entry), and your uploading your illegal activities on RU-vid? Do I have this right?
