Today’s explore took us all the way over to Barlborough Hall School, which permanently closed in July 2025 due to financial struggles. Founded in 1939, the school is set within a stunning Grade I listed 16th-century building.
After a long adventure through country lanes, fields, and woods, we finally caught our first glimpse of this incredible place – and it did not disappoint.
⚠️ HOWEVER – IMPORTANT ⚠️
We were asked by local residents who live on the boundaries of the property to advise people NOT to come here, especially at night. Out of respect, I’m passing that message on and strongly advising against visiting.
Unfortunately, we were unable to gain access during this explore as we were caught before entering, and the police attended the scene. Thankfully, the officers were very understanding and even showed interest in urban exploring themselves.
This situation could have escalated quickly, but we stayed respectful, listened to instructions, and left the property when asked. The police also requested that we share this message to discourage others from attempting to visit.
Please respect locations, locals, and the law. Urbex is about exploration, not causing problems.

I live in the village and if you had walked a few streets away and tried opening my windows you would have had a lot more than a a (perfectly understandably) angry man shouting at you.
It doesnt matter if its "just civil trespass" its still wrong. Would you like it if we all got your address and came round and explored your house?
For anyone else from the Urbex community dont bother trying to go here anymore - its about to go up for auction so will have new owners soon as well - its not abandoned and about to get new owners.
