seminary

I wont bore you with too much history, this place has been done before, and has been done better than my attempt. I just want to share some of my stuff, and hopefully get to know some people on the forum as I am pretty new to urbex. HISTORY: St Joseph's College, Upholland is a former Roman...

It's about time I submitted something from my growing backlog so here's one from a little while back... The Roman Catholic theological college was founded in 1808 and finally closed in 2011. I made 2 visits within the space of 10 days, due to forgetting to attach the tripod plate onto the base...

Visited with a few peeps from here one early Sunday morning. We got to the site at about 5am and then met headed up to the roof to cook some breakfast, was so nice sitting there watching as the light started to come over the view. We spent about 3 hours there and only covered about 10% of the...

Heading back from Scotland, first after the overnight stop and a slightly underwhelming breakfast (damn Greggs for being closed!) me and my companions hit a site I had wanted to see for some time but due to it's distance away had never gotten the chance to factor into a trip. Ushaw College, a...

Hello again! Possibly the most documented urbex building in the UK so theres no need for history, just check out the hundreds of other reports. I've legit done this place to death, seen every part other than a few rooms which are always locked. St Josephs hosted a recent meet up myself and...

We took a trip up north to visit Ushaw Seminary which was situated in a fairly remote location. We were quite disappointed at first as the place was in such a state but then we stumbled across a little chapel which had some amazing stained glass windows and was full of colour. Managed to get a...

Sell Out Cat Crew meet: [CENTER]Been wanting to see this for a awhile and finally got a chance. Knowing it was a pain in the arse to navigate if you didn't know where your were going didn't put me at ease, and of course there's the ear bleeding alarm. Visited with Banned Batz, scrappy and his...

This place is the best I have visited so far and I seem to find something new every time! On my most recent visit I think I got rather lucky having a stroll around the ground floors without the ear piercing alarm going off! can see myself revisiting this place a lot :D St Joseph's Seminary was...

Visited with Makepondsnotwar and Venustas, nice 6.00am start at Macdonalds where I was given free coffee from the girl there (no idea why lol) What a fantastic location this is, for me it’s the best place in the UK I`ve done. Loads of history on DugieUK`s report the other week and I`m not one...
