How the abandoned Chaucer Technology School in Canterbury will be transformed and reopened

It's been four years since students stepped out of Chaucer School in Canterbury for the final time.

After closing in summer 2015, it looked like no one had set foot inside since - until now at least.

All that had been left is leaves and rubble strewn across the dirty floors, debris dangling off damaged walls and cables hanging from the ceilings.

Overgrown trees and shrubbery have adorned most of the outside of the building and have weaved their way across some of the doorways.
