Post Agecroft Cemetery Chapel - Dec 2010 - 15-12-2010, 22:24

Agecroft (formerly Northern) Cemetery was made from land bought from the Agecroft Hall estate in 1901 for about £27,000. The first internment took place in 1903. This Church of England chapel is in a terrible state of repair and perpetually ‘about to be restored’. Stunning decay though.

I like the last shot of the exposed masonry where the plasters come away. Looks good, nicely done!

Ooo beautiful! I really like this! I designed a stage set rather like it a few years ago.
