It was meant to be demolished last year as I recall. Good to see it’s still there in one piece … just about.

I did wonder if this was Upholland College. One of my best mates from Primary school went there for secondary ('80 - '85). His parents took me over for a visit one weekend. Bit of a trek across from Harrogate.

Possibly, Jez :thinking:

From Wikipedia:

St Joseph’s College is a former Roman Catholic seminary and boarding school in Up Holland, Lancashire, England.

St Joseph’s, usually referred to by its students simply as “Up Holland”

If anyone is interested, I made a quick 3D photogrammetry model.

Shot on M3E, no RTK, no GCPs, 50mtr agl, smart oblique shots only as a test.

Shot in Nov 2024.

As a side note, I was the last full time Gardener / Groundsman / Farmer here 2 decades ago before it was sold and fell apart!
