Visited with everyone!
It had been an early start for everyone but we finally made it back down to Hartlepoole at around 5ish after a brief look at Wallsend Theatre. We nipped back to Chez Fox to grab more cameras and then set out again to this place.
Ushaw College is a cool little place nestled in the hills around Durham and guarded by mini ponies who had manical non-religious laughs. I remember seeing Crossy's report of this place last year and whilst thinking of places we could visit whilst up north, Ushaw came up in conversation. It's right next to the active seminary so we were all on our best behaviour.
It's a lot more "derelict" than I thought it would be which I guess has been caused by some abuse over the last couple of years from pikeys and the like. But none the less, it yielded a great couple of hours and plenty of sunny lens flare to keep by broken camera happy. Good times!
Here's the pics
