I do hate it when they close these (I would guess) rural schools. Like Post Offices and pubs, they play a vital part in the life and soul of a place.

Very poignant. In monochrome it would be almost unbearable.

Best wishes,

Andrew

A very ghostly documentary picture. Sad and unloved now, this image has a powerful story to tell.
