Flock House, NZ

 These photos were taken in 2015.




Flock House, near Bulls, in the Manawatu, was founded in 1924.

It was first used to accommodate and train the sons of British Naval personnel who died during World War I.

In 1947, the school was opened to New Zealand boys aged between 14 and 18 years who wanted to gain an education in farming.https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/business/commercial-property/6796032/Flock-House-has-huge-potential

Below are links with some history of the place.







The property (as I understand it) has been 'returned' to the Maori people and sits along with many other properties dotting the countryside--mostly schools that have closed-- that are returned and sit derelict.
