Hey
This our first post! After watching a video on YouTube of the tin church we decided to go and have a look. We arrived (30.07.20, 14.20pm) and realised that it’s in quite built up area, we decided to knock on the neighbours door and find our more about the property. Unfortunately she had advised not to go onto the site as there were now a lot of people watching due to recent break ins.
The tin church was actually purchased out of a catalogue as it was the cheapest option at the time. Built approx 1897. The owner wasn’t very well and the council forced him to move due to the property being unsafe, he is still local and visits often, he wants to move back in but the council won’t allow it. It’s now a listed building. They have a fete on the grass verge in front of the houses every year and the owner comes along for this and dresses as a vicar, he is know to locals as the tin vicar.
it’s such a shame that others have decided to force entry, it would’ve been amazing to get some closer photos.
Sorry if this has already been posted, I couldn’t find anything when I searched.
