This chappel was demolished a long time ago. I will try to take a drive up there later on and see which chapels/churches are where. If I can get past the one way system that's in opperation due to the road works.......
Not bad Pete for a Scouser! So you was down in the Black Country then. You know if i had plenty of money i'd buy(or is it by? ) that chapel and live there.After i'd done it up of course.can't stand filth!!

You need to get back to your old haunts Robbie, before they all disappear for good, the Plaza could be the next place to go.
Hey Rob - do you know the Barrel car park is now a housing estate, The Kings Highway is gone and they're building a supermarket and - shock horror - I was driving up mom's a couple of weeks ago through Whiteheath and the Gate is now a Co-op. Can't believe how quickly that went up
The chapel in these pictures is still there, but the Rhubarb chapel that used to be on old hill cross was demolished years ago to make way for the new road.
