Report - St. Josephs Seminary, Upholland - April 23

[JaffaTB]

This place surely needs no introduction as it seems like its been done plenty of times, i decided to make my first visit here after hearing there are diggers on site so i thought i'd try and check it out before its too late, the fence is still there as are the 2 guards and the diggers have already started pulling down most outer buildings, the main building is in a poor state now with partial collapses and a whole section of roof almost fallen off as the floors below it have collapsed, glad I made the trip as i dont think it will last much longer, 3 hours in here was nowhere near enough though!

Jesus, I can't believe how bad the place has become!

 

[Mikeymutt]

That look really dangerous now. Great update thank you.

 

[GRONK]

Christ that has gone down hill, such a shame that it's been allowed to get in that state.

I remember hiding on that roof with @Lavino whilst the coppers searched the building for us!

I still can't believe how bad that place has gotten in the past few years, I bet you are glad you managed to do it just before demolition. Are they demolishing the whole lot or just some? Great shots btw.

Honestly shocked at that collapse. Remember walking down that corridor around a year ago noticing how skewed the corridor looked.

Blimey. That's really sad to see. For some reason never got over here. Wish I had done now. Too late now, by the looks of it.

I've heard it's just the outbuildings that are being demolished but the main building is pretty unstable now so might all end up coming down, seems such a waste to let it just collapse, definitely glad I finally got it done!

Deffo not too late yet, probably easier than ever to do it now as well because the cameras have gone..

Good lord seeing that hallway bend in is terrifying, you got balls to walk anywhere near that

Man that roof collapsing!!! actually makes some pretty cool shots the 2 after the spiral are ace
U are a brave man standing up there lol
Such a shame but guess it was inevitable though.

 

[mookster]

That roof being held up by nothing but wishful thinking is quite something.

 

[Shaun]

Looking on par with denbigh now

 

[Calamity Jane]

What a death trap now. Its a real shame. I hope some of it is reclaimed. Those roof images are great but sad. Thanks for update.

 

[MotionlessMike]

It was just about holding itself together last summer when I went, but man, the winter hasn't been kind!

 

[Bikin Glynn]

Thought all that main square was listed? looks like they may rip all roof / floors out & just leave a shell cos I cant see how they can save any of it now
