It's awesome. Moved down south from Skem as a boy in 1978, I just thought of this place today. I never knew what it was or called. Always impressed me.
Thanks for the sub. I flew over last September, video is on here showing the full roof collapse on one wing. Everything else is still in the same condition with no planning for any further demolition etc. I think the owners are just letting it sit. I’ll probably do another flight before we get into summer.
@@1974bazzaaa So i guess they are just leaving it to rot just exact same as Pool Parc hospital. I have been to St Josephs and never been able to get inside . might take a trip up once the better weather sets in. Looking forward to seeing your drone footage .
@@annbarns652 pretty much, hoping that they’ll force the planning through at some stage but it’s probably too late to save it now….ten years ago it’d be salvageable I think. I went inside in 2020 and some of it is stunning…..the chapel is amazing…and its water tight too so no damage from the elements
Highly unlikely. In most probability the remaining parts will continue to deteriorate for many years to come until they are knocked down or a redevelopment is allowed on the condition that the wider green space is allowed to be built upon.
@@simonsanigar3581 I’d love to be wrong but there’s no evidence either from the owners or through planning applications to do anything else at the moment. I’m planning to go back and do an update video in a few weeks.
Sad. So sad.... Remember the plan that Archbishop Worlock went out to consultation to All interested parties. Opposition was staggering. We were determined to save Upholland....
I agree, so much history in the place alongside architecture that you won’t see in modern buildings. I personally love hearing stories about the place.
