Yep. Can confirm that the security appears to now be pretty damn solid after having a look there over the weekend. Motion cameras on poles on the perimeter and high fences bolted together. surround the site. And many exteriors windows are now boarded up even if you get through that somehow. I was just about to go there in 2018 when life stuff happened and I never got round to it. *sigh*

Yep indeed. I wasn't keeping up with urbex at all, but a friend and I went out on a random day trip and we ended up having a nose around Whitchurch as we were in the area.
Will just have to enjoy everyone's photos from its brief heyday then.

Thats not to say it might not open up again in future but it'll be a totally different experience. Might be a lovely decayed state inside.. nobody really knows.
Two security units on site with dogs, steel sheeting on all the ground floor windows/doors and other vulnerable bits, don't waste your time - there's a reason the photos and reports dried up around a year ago.
*edit* didn't realise that reply was from May, oops - however it's still a valid reply.
Yep, a shame for those who haven't seen it. I was poised to go back in '18 but missed my chance due to personal stuff. However the beefed-up security is certainly for the best for the site. Certain sections would definitely have been set ablaze. As said in Independence Day II "they like to go for the landmarks". Would have been an inevitable site to see the main hall be destroyed, for one.
