WATCH: See inside this abandoned girls' school


Leeds Girls' High School was founded in 1876 to expand female educational opportunities in the city, and the senior school was built in the early 1900s. Junior sections of the school were housed in converted villas nearby.
The site was abandoned in 2008, when the school merged with the boys' Leeds Grammar to become Grammar School at Leeds and moved to Alwoodley. It has since been earmarked for housing development.
