This important and historic school building has fallen into serious disrepair because of a protracted debate over its future between the owners Sphinx Commercial Ltd, and Council planners.

An outline planning application for turning the Grade II listed building into apartments was submitted in 2004, before it was sold, but that has not yet been turned into reality.

Since being in planning limbo for four years it has been struck by arsonists, thieves and vandals on several occasions.

As a result, the school's slate roof has been gutted and most of its interior features destroyed. It is now on the council's Listed Building 'At Risk' register.

  • Total disgrace, well done Bradford council!! Its in even worse condition now. Grade 2 listed as it was the first school in England to have a swimming pool.

  • Saddened when saw this, Wapping Road was my first school in England. Had fond memories. Everything perishes except the "face" of God. Hope to meet the good friends and teachers of Wapping Road School in heaven.

  • A ghost of Bradford's finest age - superbly presented!
