Wowey wow. This place was huge. Those Windows, wood work, statues were incredible. Views out the window were nice too. Shame it's been left to ruin like this. Cheers to you and thanks for the great tour.
Oh great you have a young kid with you , so not only are you teaching him its ok to illegally trespass and break into places but you 've taken him to a place that is very dangerous and could cause his death. good job to whoever is supposed to be parenting that kid you're doing a bang up job!
I thought about the young boy making the wrong step on decayed flooring and landing on the first floor, but I tried not to think about it as reality. I wonder why you are the only one to call out the idea of "parenting" because as a mother I agree with you. The boy should not have been a part of this exploration ...... too dangerous!

Frame 1:01:51, this video is just non stop. When you think you have seen everything, this phenomenal thing shows up! This has to be pure marble. Look at the size and height! Thank you for an awesome video, not sure how the heck I missed this one.😁👍🏻
I know I'm commenting on this late but What was it? an old school or private college for people to learn theological studies and learn to be a minister or just be a theologian. looks like it could have been a self-sustaining place to having its own textile part with all those textile machines. Massive rooms and bedrooms its a shame it went to ruins I bet it would still be an awesome place to be in. now just looks like something out of a silent hill horror scene. Try going here at night. not me lol.
I know explorers don't steal or take... But I think it's a crying shame fireplaces, banisters, hardware, & or doors etc can't be salvaged!!! Even windows instead if turning to black rot & mold.
They could sell off portions for a nominal price on the condition they restored it for their own use living, give people a chance to get up on the property ladder and boost building work !
Google just tried tricking me into watching a different explorer ,it was awful ,what a racket pure noise pollution, Alec has a easy listening voice and not in your face, Sorry Google no thanks
People would tithe hoping to salvage their souls through prayers and absolution to be blessed and forgiven to gain access to Heaven. The more they sinned the higher the tithe called the "tithe of guilt". Many wealthy individuals worried about their souls gave handsomely to the church so as to be buried in the church or on the church grounds.
Way out with your date's. It was built in the 1880's and extended by Pugin in the 1920's. Have a look at this link- www.lancashirelife.co.uk/out-about/places/hidden-lancashire-st-joseph-s-seminary-upholland-1-4795162 or just google St Joseph's Seminary, Up Holland. There's lots of information on Wikipedia and other websites. The place is not preserved at all, it's about 8 miles from where I live and it's derelict and dangerous, which is why many thousands of £s were spent fencing it all off.
@@philyew3617 There was a sign that had 1882 in Roman numerals at one point. I assumed that was the build date. It's a pity it can't be turned into something like a residential school, though the cost would be astronomically high. It makes me sad to see such decay. It feels like we're living in the final days of the Roman Empire at times. Surrounded by the decaying ruins of buildings we can no longer build or maintain. Doubtless at some point the wrecking balls will come in and a shoddily built housing estate will take its place!
U do a rally good job on here am a big support of u do a rally good job on youtube and I hop we can be friends with at well be good and all of are voids on here are rally good too play on youtube keep up there good work on here
Love the stain glass windows, arches, and large huge wood doors. This place is definitely being renovated. You folks are lucky as heck, not bumping into the construction crew.
Such a shame if this is left to continues to decay! Thank you for taking so much time to show us so much of this massive monistary! You took many risks! Be very careful. Would never want anyone injured just to show us this, but so appreciate your willingness to to us on your adventures! Thanks much!
This is amazing vid , you’ve showed far more than anyone else ever has , it’s just more awesome than I thought it was , I’d come home with a thousand stills if I ever get in there , can’t see anything ever being done with it though, it’s too far gone in places, keep up the good work
Thanks Caley we spent about 5 hours in there and i drained 2 gopro batteries but it was worth every step of it, i wasn't driving all that way to get a knock back wasn't in the mood for it lol, id deffo go back im sure we missed stuff who knows though
All of are voids on here are rally good too play on here keep up there good work on here and am going too keep playing are videos on here. Form gregbouchard
This event is happening all over the United States as well as more and more people decide not to attend church. Without a congregation of people who tithe, the churches cannot survive and make necessary repairs to their rectories, seminaries, or their churches. This goes for both the Catholic, Protestant, and Non-Denominational churches.
Michael Oram think they cleared it out to allow for work to be done but as per they probably ran out of money I’m sure these will be getting made into flats
omg.. tks for sharing, interesting. all that stainless kit and fire or kennel type pots! scary food on that plate? makes ya wanna know why anyone leaves like that, and then place rots, and leaves personal belongings. Even church, or biz... whatever. used for Are we really missing something in these situations? no way would i let my kid be in there. whats parents thinking today? way too dangerous dude!
@@charmainelamont2020 Thank you, I did look it up and it took place in the 60's but this building doesn't look as if it abandonned for 50 years ? Did this council mean that studies were abandonned ?

I’m not religious but I can see the beauty that goes into these places, absolutely stunning and such a shame something can’t be done with it. Is it listed??

Translation from the fireplace, something like - 'With you, teacher, I hoped not to be lost for ever'
Wow, beautiful place and amazing filming, thanks!

What a freaking roof top VIEW! This is an EXPLORER'S DREAM! I know Alex and his crew are happy!
Another spectacular photography moment on frame 37:00.

Wow! Now that is a beautiful fireplace. Kind of a Medieval, Knights Templar Style. I have never seen one like this, really old.
38:45 must have been an observatory, amazing. The dorm, with the hightend stool for the nightwatch, so the lads don't touch themselves at night 😆.
No that was actually so the staff could touch the lads at night... lol
This place is HUGE and awesome find thank you for the video thumbs 👍🏻up 😊🤗 thank you Alec. Great as always Be safe.
Thanks you too

Alec ,when you explore next be careful don't impale yourself on the fence! Cheers!
I know it was a year ago but my word what a gem.You know how to find them.
It is beautifull
The length of those corridors.Amazing.Lovely architecture yet again.
How on earth can you ignore wild life that can’t get out.shame on you.
This place is HUGE! And beautifully preserved. How old is this place? I give it the late 1600's.

Helo from indonesia..so beautiful..
Hello to you
Very interesting place. ❤️ I would’ve made the kid wear a mask 😷.
I wouldn't have taken a kid into that environment at all.
Who said anything about religion?
Amazing Place!! It is like the world of Harry Potter.
I hope you let those pigeons out!
Love the stain glass windows, arches, and large huge wood doors. This place is definitely being renovated. You folks are lucky as heck, not bumping into the construction crew.
Please where are your masks especially for your young son asbestosis is a cronic. illness with. No cure get out if I was you
This place is going to be knocked door and social housing built
Fancy cleaning them industrial pans.You would need to stand inside to clean them🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow has someone peed in that glass 😉
Those flat irons are for pressing all those habits
Such a shame if this is left to continues to decay! Thank you for taking so much time to show us so much of this massive monistary! You took many risks! Be very careful.

Wow . Very nice place
Not surprising...
England abandoned God a generation ago.
WW1 was proof for most people that there is no god
Jon your right.The same in Ireland.Once they realised there was more to religion.Its called money.
Nice one
Thanks
I hope they opened the window for those birds.That would have be cruelty if the didnt
Beautiful place... Awesome video! But what's with the kid??? And nobody had a mask on...
I'm pretty sure this was pre pandemic
Não me conformo com esse enorme prédio abandonado desse jeito
Glad the footage turned out ok buddy 😊
Genuine Gaming same mate glad I got it uploaded

freakin awesome guys , love it , dont get busted , . lol. very cool
Steve Taylor cheers bro that’s not the plan haha
I wonder what happened to everything in there is kind of surprising that it's a big empty building
Michael Oram think they cleared it out to allow for work to be done but as per they probably ran out of money I’m sure these will be getting made into flats
@@ExploringwithAlec hope they get the money to renovate this beautiful building..
@@debe.1868 I hope so too or it will just fall to ruin like any other does
Most of all chairs ware moved.Why?
en que año fue cotruydo SEMINARIO
St. Joseph’s seminary.
this building is fkd it wants striping out of all the nice wood work and stone and flattening its beyond cost effectiveness
Once all the lead is gone off the roof these places don't stand a chance. Would love to see a demolition job on this!

Watch out for Danny.s Nun lads , she gets about a bit .

Matt Martin thanks mate
Who's have one door.........
Who's can continue this ?!!!😄😄😄
What is this place, I can tell by watching this vide

Not your child, none of your business!
Padre vai tudo pro inferno
The Church has too much money and WHAT happened to religion and faith that they used to be able to fill this place with future priests ?
A disastrous thing called the Second Vatican Council, that's what happened.
@@charmainelamont2020 Thank you, I did look it up and it took place in the 60's but this building doesn't look as if it abandonned for 50 years ? Did this council mean that studies were abandonned ? Why did it affect buidlings ? I am Protestant and I grew up forbidden to study anything catholic and now I live in a Catholic country.
Isso é um hotel ?
Seminary
59:47 What was THIS room for ??? HINT it involved a candle and a priest :O
I’m not religious but I can see the beauty that goes into these places, absolutely stunning and such a shame something can’t be done with it. Is it listed??
Samuel H no why would you think I was afraid??
If it was listed it won’t be for much longer.
I loved this place..was enormous.
Can you imagine how much this place cost to build.
You watched the pidgeons and cut away from a beautiful fireplace.
Okay.
IS THIS ON THE FOR SALE LIST.
I'm sure its getting turned into Flats
These places should be torn down or rehabbed to help and house those who are homeless.
.
They get enough help.They choose to be homeless.Come to London snd you will see homeless people don’t like to be confined in one place
AWESOME!!!!
So Buzzing for this......
Enjoy it bro i was in there for at least 5-6 hours
I wonder who payed for all this
Yeah you can't get everything I have watched several videos and each time I see something new, like the clip new subscriber finder beepers has a good one but it's such an awesome site.☣☢
