A gem of a church at Mapleton. Unusual in design inside and out. @meindlboots @olympusuk @olympus_penfclan #peakdistrict #ig_peakdistrict #whitepeak #churches #englishchurches #easter
Once or twice a year I visit Rotherham. Back in the day Thursday was payday and the town that evening would be bursting with people walking through the streets on a pub crawl. It was a happy time. The town had everything you could ever want to buy, several department stores, shoe shops, tailors, food shops, big names. Tonight the place was almost deserted. A few bodies in doorways, a male prostitute on the high street propositioned me and most shops were empty. The shops that were still operating fell in to one of a few categories. Poundshops, gambling, pawn. The only other business that seems to be thriving is the council, but on what and what for I couldn’t say. The one spot of beauty was the Minster. Still to my mind one of the most beautiful and majestic of all parish churches. @rotherhamcouncil @rotherhamadvertiser #rotherham #minster #townscape
