Ushaw College "The Seen", Durham - Jan 2012

[mrdistopia]

Visited the seminary with Stranton after a previous dissapointing attempt in Nov where all I got were outside shots.

The college is half derelict and half maintained. The occupied side was operating as a conference center until very recently. I now believe Durham University (who own the site) are setting it up for study once again as part of their religious studies school. The appear to be no plans to do much to the urbex-friendly half. But, looking at the state of the building, that's no surprise.

Nb. Just spotted HiddenShaddow's awesome blag-coverage of the other half - Talk about stealing a man's thunder. lol. Anyway, here are my shots of the old abandoned half.

Awesome report sir

i agree - it's shocking the damage being done to the chapel. Jesus' dismembered arm did look quite freshly done.
Also, cheers for the comments folks - have a couple more...


Cant get enough of this wheelchair, love it.
