The old Combs school
Kentucky · United States · School
It closed in the early 1970s when the new school opened below it. Lessons are still heard going on up on the hill.
The old school at Combs, Kentucky served the community for many years and closed in the early 1970s, when the school that is still in use was built.
The abandoned building stands on the hill directly above it.
What people report is children talking and teachers still giving lessons. Walking is heard in the corridors, and lights are seen.
The arrangement is the striking part. The pupils in the new school look up at the old one every day, and what is reported in it is the sound of a school day carrying on without them.
Perry County is in the eastern Kentucky coalfield, and the schools here served communities built entirely around the mines. A great many of those communities are smaller now than they were when the old building closed.
The old school is derelict and unsafe.
