Urban exploration - abandoned Jewish private school
Deep in the heart of Oxfordshire is a lovely abandoned Jewish private school.
Carmel College was a Jewish, mixed boarding school, which ran from 1948 till 1997. The college was founded by Kopul Rosen on the banks of the Thames and made use of the manor house which already occupied the site, which was the inspiration for the mansion in Agatha Christie’s “Mouse Trap”. The grounds of the campus are still well kept today, and are very well landscaped.
The campus comprises of several separate buildings including: swimming pool, gallery, music room, dining room, dormitories, science labs and synagogue. The concrete synagogue and Julis Gottlieb Gallery are fantastic examples of post-war architecture, designed by Thomas Hancock and Sir Basil Spence respectively. A number of buildings are Grade II listed, and the Spence’s gallery is Grade II* listed.
Sadly the college closed its doors in 1997, due to falling numbers, bad management and financial difficulties
Unfortunately (or fortunately) everything was well sealed and boarded up , however it was certainly worth it when you take into consideration how well kept the buildings and grounds actually are.
I haven't muted the video as I usually do because of the beautiful birdsong that you can hear throughout.
Thank you for watching!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
