Father Hudson Society Buildings, Coleshill, Sept 2011

[TranKmasT]

After numerous visits to this site and my first introductory report on urbexforums, I thought I'd post what I thought the best of the bunch from this fantastic group of buildings. I first saw reports of the boys home posted back in early 09 and I wondered what it's status was and why I didn't come across more recent reports. On my first first visit in November 2010, St Mary's was the first building I managed to explore, the boys home didn't get a look in due to time restraints so over the months I returned, more than once to check the rest out.


Father Hudson’s Society was founded by Father George Vincent Hudson. Father Hudson was born in 1873 at Kinsham in the parish of Bredon, Worcestershire. He studied for the priesthood at St. Mary’s College Oscott and was ordained in 1898. A week after his ordination he was sent to Coleshill as parish priest. At that time there was great poverty, deprivation in many areas and exploitation of child labour. Father Hudson feared for the children who found themselves destitute through no fault of their own – helpless, friendless and powerless. From his earliest days in the small parish of Coleshill he formulated ideas to reach out and help these innocent victims of circumstance.
