I know a number of members have visited St Peter's Seminary, and love this very different building. One of the best Urbex sites in the UK. Isi Metzstein one of the original creators of St Peter's died recently

I was so taken with this place I ordered the company's book from the British Library for £3 for a month, a great read and shows what the thinking was behind the buildings creation. It was up on Amazon for £ 245!

Yes, Isi was a good architect, although latterly as well-known as a professor of architecture as an architect.

The Gillespie Kidd & Coia book is fascinating if you like their work, but as you've discovered, not cheap…
