Mirfield United Reform Church - Dewsbury - 2009

The former URC church in Mirfield was built in 1829 (!) and has been empty since the mid 1990s. Inside the church is quite well preserved and has a large basement and a cool Sunday School and stage to the rear.

Highlights include the organ, the bible still on the pulpit and some very creepy and abandoned bits with added religious artifacts. Camera ran out of battery so sorry for the lack of externals.

Enjoy :thumb

Thanks for looking.

Fooking Hell at that Organ! That NEEDS to be saved! A three Manual Abbotts & Smith Organ would be snapped up! If the power was on did you not try it! If it still works it needs to be taken out.

that's a bit nice is that KE :thumb

Wowee..........this is brilliant :thumb
