I had to get up a similar roof to paint a copula on a chapel. It was quite interesting. I managed it. Quasimodo would have been proud of me.

No Quasimodo jokes? He swings on the bells in the "Church of the Disfiguration"? Charles Laughton roams there at night with his group of fellow-hunchback zombies!

this is obviously not a serious web site or genuinely interested in real human experiences aned suffering have sadly realised.

WELL SOMEWHAT SHOCKING TO FIND SUCH HIDDEN HISTORY I have difficult memories of dancing,IN THAT HALL TO ROSES OF PICARDY WHICH WASNT FAMILIAR WITH AT ELLsinging,keeping a hedgehog in the wardrobe. making a cake in OT, winning all the prizes for wild flower collection and evetything almost else oney ear in the eisteddfod, running away down the railway line to rhyl, listening to the fear of people havind electric shock treatment and imagining them experiencing it, smelling the weird smell of the long corridor up through the main hospital to Ot and the supposedly deadly dangerous Golau villa- now recognise as cooked urine. i am 58 now was 14 then. eternal memories of doing 'waltzes 'with smelly older men nd tos h club which have only recently understood what that is!! maxine '-get the fire brigade-maxf rom the isle of man and terry if u r out there get in touch I have survived!!!!

ManCave!

Like the saving of a life - someone needs to come to the rescue of this beautiful landmark . It would be criminal to dispatch such a model of architectural magnificance. Is this any less dramatic than what tourists pursue in Europe???

I've driven by this church a lot. The saddest part of the whole thing is how bad the whole neighborhood surrounding it has become. I never knew the area as anything but run down, and it's still getting worse. That's one of the main reasons the church is in as bad of shape as it is. Nobody's been able to look after it.
That part of the city was an old Polish neighborhood, extremely Catholic. Those people left for other parts of the country or the suburbs. There are a lot of old churches in that part of town, you can go down the street a few blocks one way and there are 2 old former catholic churches literally within a stones throw from each other. They were the result of a schism in the local Polish catholic church, and they used to compete for members. Now they are united as part of a mosque.

Another beautiful gallery, Mr. Motts! Thanks so much for sharing :)

i agree with the Nosferatu take

never saw the baby jesus at there feet

the arcitecture is stunning, its a real shame that buildings now adays go up as quick as the speed of light, and these types go down faster than new ones can be built...you dont see places like this anymore. its saddening

Breathtaking.

Zombies?

Someone's about to get all Nosferatu on you

I suggest we RUN

Onward and Upward

( Easy to say while I'm living vicariously eh? )
