House of Sisters (Very pic heavy)

The House of Sisters, UK
Visited with Priority 7​

I've been waiting for this to appear on DP - and I'm not disappointed. Somewhat jealous though. Excellent shots, excellent place

Excellent report as usual Priority told me of the close call

amazing, read about your close call on p7's blog!!!! this place floats so many of my boats!!!!

What a beautiful place & photos

This was a site Urbex SW and I had looked at a few weeks back only to decide the time of day was not likely to assist in a successful entry and explore so we made a few mental notes, consulted Google Maps and re-arranged for another visit.
Today was the day and all appeared to be going wrong from the outset, Urbex SW was stuck in traffic, our orignal route in meant fording a river we hadn't spotted on GM. Eventually I spotted another possible way in and off we set some 2 hours late.
After crossing some waterlogged fields our prize was in sight and we set about finding a point of entry. Damn all the doors (As you would expect) were locked and the windows were shuttered of closed tight.
Finally we found a way into the basement and found ourselves between two sets of stairs however there were two stings in the tail, one had been closed off and floored over and the other had a bolted door at the top . Just then we heard cars on the gravel, voices and doors opening, had someone spotted us were the police about to burst in and spoil the day. A sigh of relief it was the estate agent showing around some potential buyer but we were still trapped in the basement our entry point now blocked by the cars. So we settled in waiting for them to leave. Around an hour in and I motioned to Urbex SW to pick up his tripod just incase we needed to move quickly...no sooner had he picked it up and the basement lights sprang into life they were coming down, we shot tot eh far end of the room and hid ourselves in the blocked off stairs knowing all they need do was a quick walk through and we were done, thankfully luck and probably expensive suits came to our rescue they didn't come down. The light went off and we started waiting again 30 minutes later the cars and the people left and we felt it would be rude not to try the door one last time, what do you know the estate agent hadn't bolted it and we were in..let the explore and images begin. The last sisters moved out some time in 2011 leaving the property to be sold to the highest bidder.

Those shots piss all over mine mate, they are out of this world on so many levels! Cheers for your kind words though, cheered me up a little bit ;-)

I thought you would tell the story about our eventful morning so I missed it out on my part

Looking forward to the next place mate!

Bud I have to say exploring with you, UrbanX, Covert Urbex and others there never seems to be a dull moment so I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone I have had the pleasure to explore with and I mean everyone. I have had a falling out here and there but I thank everyone none the less. Cheers

Fantistic shots both of you.

Strangely, my favourite shot was P7's one of the front room with the TV!!

And that video is brilliant, great choice of music and pace.

Cheers dude, means alot!

It was a fantastic thrill but I think I speak for P7 on this too when I say we were more concerned about how she would react if / when she saw us

UE-OMJ, I love that shot too! P7's Wide Angle work lovely in there I think!

Truly outstanding place one which needs to be preserved , both sets of pics are amazing and loved the video .

Cracking report - Very nice, lets hope a new use is found for it, way to grand to be demolished is this place!

cracking work from the pair of ya

far too good a place to end up being ransacked by the metal pirates

Cheers! I'm not sure what else it could actually be used for to be honest but it would be a nightmare if somebody bought it and removed the stunning features that are there now! I think I would strap myself to the front door if a demo application was submitted!

Thanks for the comments everybody

Amazing building, fantastic report, fantastic pics. Like the vid also!. Only thing I would say is it looks more like an empty building, not derelict. I like me buildings grotty. Give it a few years I suppose. Amazing work!

Excellent reports, and stunning pics from you both.......great story!

Superb reports & pics from both of you.

Fantastic pics both of ya, looks one hell of an explore! I've not lost all my faith in UK sites!
Great vid too P7, turning the corner and emerging into the chapel is a "whoa!" moment.
Cheers for sharing guys!
