Visited this beautiful place with my young son, who is now terrified shitless because some idiot thought it would be funny to start shouting abuse through one of the windows while we were inside. Anyway, St. Lukes is really an amazing place to visit. Completely empty inside and covered in graffiti, it's still an absolutely lovely building and the view from the top is stunning!!

Built in 1890 on the side of a hill in Abercarn, this impressive church was shut down in 1980 after suffering many years with problems with its roof. Don't know any other history of the site so I will get on with the pics.

Interesting looking place even when totally stripped out.

Would be an excellent location for a night shoot with some suitably tinted lights.
