UK School built in 1800s.What were the rooms found through hatches in the wall/under stage??

Question

Heyyy.. Ok so at school every year has a locker area. At the end of ours is a storage room.

At the top of the storage room there is a like a vent/hatch on the facing wall.

Me and my friends often have fun throwing things into it, from wads of paper towels to soap. So, we decided to climb up the stacks of toilet paper and shined a light into the hatch. It was really freaky an incredibly dusty and old looking. It would have been through both world wars.

It was like a room which was really long and it had a low ceiling. On the left was some pipes with a hole behind which prob leads to other rooms? Anyway the room had a small dip in the middle. Right at the very end, it was hard to see because it was so far down there was like a wall which if u turn the corner seems like it leads to another room.

Me and my friends have also investigated under the stage, which seems nearly exactly the same as this room.

So what do you think?? What were these rooms used for?

Answer 1

its the old boiler room. the school probably used to be heated by a large coal burning boiler. (we had one in our old school) ...we used to nip down there and stow away for the odd lesson.  strangely enough we used to swear blind ours!! was haunted too. under the  stage of my secondary school i found an old ww2 boys brigade bass drum. it was blue with the boys brigade insignia painted on it. and it had pig skins and red and white hoops. we renovated it and it went on display at the school. King Johns school. Hadleigh in Essex......wonder if its still there? ( that was in 1962.) i do envy you. i used to love the adventures and the mysteries when i was a kid. find a way in!!
