Maybe taken with your phone but well taken and a good record.

For future reports can you put a line feed between images so they don't appear as one image?

Thanks for sharing.

No cameras or anything of the sort there, perhaps you're getting mixed up with it's sister seminary in Upholland. The chapel is however comprehensively welded shut.

And as druid said please please separate out your photos, it makes for much easier viewing.

Yes they're a bit twitchy at Upholland, every time a thread about it appears on here I get an email demanding I remove it. Not so at Ushaw.

Yeah it's a shame about the chapel but I'm going back with the big camera hopefully get some nice shots

Well worth another visit but it might be an idea to wait awhile, Nicely Done, Thanks

The next set of photos will be just for me didn't get a good look round today was pushed for time ☺

That's a pretty decent report for phone pics. I looked at them first before reading. Nice work, thanks for sharing!

As someone who still earns from his past photography, I can say that those images are far better than many that are posted on the web and taken with a 'proper' camera. With a phone that has a decent inbuilt camera system, you always have it on you and the recorded image is just a 'click' away. To lug a full blown bag of kit around needs planning and thought - yes the bag might live in the back of the car, but batteries need to be kept charged and memory cards formatted etc. I certainly wish that I had got my present phone in my pocket years ago when I was photographing some of the more nasty scenes I attended. Never forget that all the camera does is record what your eyes see first, your eyes and how your brain interprets the scene is the most important link. If one has no 'eye'; waving around £10k of fully auto focus/exposure equipment will still only produce images that are dull and uninteresting to the observer and tell no story at all. OK they may be sharp, but I would rather have a bit of fuzz and a story in each image. Never knock the phone image and remember that proper editing software can work wonders.

Correct the camera on my Samsung is awesome but the next tripped is planned with a few props stashed away

Any pictures of the pool around the back

No I was only there a short time but plan to get some next visit
