St Joseph’s Seminary update June 2024

Awesome footage , looks like it was an impressive place back in the day , would like to get a little flight over it too myself , is it still there ? Where is best to fly from for getting footage ? Liked and subscribed to you to mate 👍👌

@@Drone.vision thankyou. It is still there but it’s surrounded by woodland that is all part of private land. So much history behind it too. You can fly from outside the woodland but hard to maintain VLOS but that’s upto you. I’d check it out on google maps so you get an idea of the location. I’ve flown from the main road at the front for ease.

Does anyone know about the condition of the chapel. it never seems to show up on views.... It is grade 2 listed.... and has to be preserved... pictures of interior and exterior....... Graveyard is our responsibility and access has to be permitted given due notice..... Those buried are listed with me.... Gerry....

@@user-rm2nb7zq4m the exterior of the chapel is still in very good condition, some of it can be seen on this video. I will fly around more of it next time I do an update so this can be seen. I have seen some interior pictures and the inside of the main chapel is in great condition too, some of the rooms and corridor around it have water damage but the chapel seems well built.

Ouch. It's painful to see my old school in such a state.

@@crankjazz it sure doesn’t look great! What year were you there?

To think i was stood inside and then on top of that collapsed roof a week or so before it fell still scares me, got some good pics from inside the twisted roof though 🤣

@@limpjaffacake I remember seeing them….bit of a mad risk in retrospect!
