Report - St. Josephs Seminary, Upholland - July 2019

[BrainL]

I won't bother posting the history of this place as most people will have read it on the countless reports from here over the years..

I hadn't been here in around 3 years now, sadly not able to get out exploring as much anymore with family and work commitments but had a free afternoon and thought I'd see what the old girl was looking like now.. as most have probably seen from other reports its starting to deteriorate really fast now, with some areas of floor completely collapsed and others about to! Fair bit of shitty graffiti around as well now..

Surprised by how easy it is to get in nowadays, gone are the days of climbing across rooftops and having to listen to that deafening alarm! Still some security on there but he was very easy to avoid to be honest. Anyway, here's a few pics of what she's looking like now..

Have they gave up securing this place or is it a momentary lapse? Seen an insane amount of activity from it

Seems they cant keep up with the amount of activity to be honest, so many smashed windows, boards ripped off, palisade broken etc... looks like they are fighting a losing battle at the moment! That being said I believe two people were caught while we were in there
