Great Britain Northern Chapel June 2020

[Tbolt]

This is my first post on here so I hope it works ok

History (the little I can find)

Built in 1878 and closed in 1999
The building has been bought by developers, who in May 2012 submitted a planning application to build 12 apartments on the site, but this was later rejected.
Another application was lodged in December 2015, this time for eight apartments, but it was later withdrawn in 2016.


Access was a little more public than I would have liked because I'm a coward but apart from one lady waiting at the bus stop opposite eveybody else was asleep so after a short wait for the bus I was in.

This place was beautiful in my opinion and thankfully I seem to have just beaten the tour bus and the torch bearers and was only slightly spoiled by the human poo upstairs, if you are reading this I hope you are suitably ashamed,
tut tut

What a great chapel, love this one. Really nice first report, write up short and sweet and great set of pics to go with it. One thing, you might want to add the date of when you explored it in the report title. I'm not sure if it is essential here on OS, but most members do, other than that good stuff
