St Joseph's Seminary, Upholland - March 2016

I'm not an early morning person and this was a very early morning meeting with Lavino, Tbolt and Blacksnake - very early cannot be stated enough.

To recap, I have never had much luck at this old seminary and our guide Lavino was a godsend, despite my serious misgivings the visit was uneventful in all the right ways.

This former Roman Catholic seminary opened in 1883 and is now a vast empty Grade II Listed building rapidly falling into major disrepair following its closure final closure in 1991.

So here are my snaps including homage to all the shite HDR shots I have longingly stared at for years as I itched to have a potter around this place.
