The Trip
This was a revisit as I missed quite a few things off on my first trip. Its sad to say that its really starting to loose its shine. Vandals and the weather have not been kind. This might be my last post for a month or so too as ive fallen way behind on my music, so I need to take a break before I get replaced in my band.
But anyway, it was a good trip. In and out without getting caught and got to see some of the best bits on offer thanks to @Lavino. A lot of my pictures were rushed as I banged my head early on and feeling blood trickle down my forehead was scaring me a bit.
History
Upholland college was a catholic seminary (priest-training institute) Built in 1880 and opened in 1883, the first phase was built to a design by James O’Bryne. Set amongst a backdrop of copse and wildwood amidst gently sloping fields, the buildings are flanked with rough-hewn stone. An upper and lower lake are separated by a gentle and soothing waterfall. The 150 acres of land the seminary is built upon had been purchased at auction in 1877. The grandeur of the chapels, meeting rooms, fixtures and fittings was unbelievable. The seminary was closed during WW1 and reopened in 1919 along with a junior seminary. The second phase of construction commenced in 1923. The design was in a different style to the original buildings, however it was equally as grand. Landscaped gardens and sports facilities were also completed by 1927. A new chapel was added in 1930 along with 14 sub chapels. The final addition to the site was a science block. It later closed for good in 1991.
Seeing this room again made me so angry. Why do people have to spread their shitty tags?
