What happens if you really, really want a flipping excellent trip out with a friend at 4am in summer in bradford? Where the fuck can you go?

Well i'd like to think that SC and I have come up with an ingenious solution that will be fun for all the family. . .


The initial idea was to get some real beauty out of something that can be considered an eyesore (not by me though, it shows true integrity to be still standing in my opinion) by catching it in some rare and early (early, early, early) morning sun. no to be unfortunately, but still i think we got the best of it.

Wapping school, next to the ALC is home to the first ever swimming pool to be built in a school in England, so many think that just for that, it should be protected by law. But because of an existing dispute between the owners (a demolition company) and the planning people it has been left basically to rot.

Fuck that, it's just another thing in bradford that has class and real style that is being wasted in favour of some trendy glass shit designed by someone who couldn't care what bradford wants or needs.

Here are a few shots taken, trying to highlight the poor state of such a wonderful building and also the way it's being used for some beauty art works now. Go and check it out for yourself sometime. Opening times, 00.00 Jan 1st till 11.59.9 december 31st. Enjoy it, it's yours. JT x
