Next time I'm there I'll enquire about the current situation re the Farm and the Junior Seminary, and report back to you  :) It's one of my favourite places, so I shouldn't think it will be too long before I'll be there  :D

          As part of the research on a history of our parish (Blackhill, County Durham) I was asked to take some photos of some of the paintings of former clergy, which were on display in Ushaw College. I couldn't resist the temptation, while I was there, to try for a panoramic shot of the outside of the college, including the two adjoining chapels. The curvature of the roof is due entirely to the wide angle covered - roughly 180 degrees. The shot(s) were taken in 2007, and as far as I know is still in a very good state of repair.
