“A kinky schoolroom-style suspected brothel has been discovered in a police raid in Wakefield. Officers visited “Westgate Old School” in the city centre and found a fully-equipped classroom and a room kitted out to look like a dungeon.
At the premises, police found equipment including stocks, whips, birches and masks, while there was also a classroom with a blackboard and the office of “headteacher Miss W Hastings-Gore.” The raid came after possible links were discovered between Westgate Old School and a party billed as “Northern Caning Nite”, which was to have included caning competitions and corporal punishment.”
