Ok... where do i start, i meet up with Jonboy and Ravaged Architecture and head up to Essex where we meet Urbex, Tamasine and Stevec047. We head off to St Johns first, Me and Jonboy did a reccy of it on Friday, pretty easy entry.. we were all looking forward to an easy Sunday and we got it bingo we was in.. wasnt a lot in the first building but then walked about the site and access to all buildings were pretty simple... heres a few pics..
The Entrance to the Chapel
Second Building - Most likely staff Quarters
Schematic of the boiler system for the staff quarters
Our little UE Matey
So as you can tell the place was in quite bad shape... so Urbex suggested St Allbright which we all agreed was a good idea. So off we went and arrived a little late, was suprised to see again easy entry and went in... at this point we were trying to find entry which we did over a wall .. Tamasine was up for this and we all got up and scaled it..
we got inside did a couple of internal shots and saw the Chapel .. We all went in apart from Tamasine and as we was finishing up to back into the building.. Tamasine says 'Guys' we are gettin out and two armed SO19 officers are coming our way... damn, he asks us what we are doin there and we just calmly say 'takin photos mate' so he took down our details blah blah blah but what shocked us was to come.. another 2officers appear then another 2 and then another 2 and then one more plus 5 estate squad cars and two dogs... just for little old us, i thought we must be special lol. Got told to go on our way and we did... off to the pub for a well deserved drink.. or drinks in some of our cases Tamasine and Stevec047 and Urbex loved meeting u guys was a right laugh from start to finish, must of thought i was a right nut hanging out the car with dance music blaring at that time of the morn:crazy.. RA and JB u know as always a pleasure and JB thanks for drivin again mate oh here is the only pic i got to take before being collared lol
