    Arrow St Peters Church, Stanley. July '11.

    Visited today with Royalbob. Thanks to Mr Ex for helpful info.

    Used to drive past this place everyday on my way to work, always thought it was a nice place. Didn't realise it was empty. Pretty sure a mate of mine got married here around '95.

    Built in 1822, gutted by fire in 1911. Rebuilt in 1913 and closed in 2001.
    Gorgeous building. Complete tragedy. I can't understand how it can close due to subsidence on the land, yet now have interest from developers!

    Anyway, pics.
