Rise and fall by swillinbillyflynn

Rise and fall

At one time there were many thriving mines in Cornwall and just as many thriving Methodist chapels. John Wesley scored a major success down here in, what was at the time, a very Pagan area.

These days most of the mine engine houses and the disused chapels have been converted into quirky houses or they lay all over the landscape as derelict reminders of Cornwall's industrial and religious past.
Fantastic capture and commentary to support it..

By the looks of that roof in the bottom of this excellent shot part of this place has been renovated. I like the stone work in these old buildings.

Wonderful shot. Terrific textures against the softness of the sky.

last time we were in cornwall we stood and looked at this building and wondered what the back was used for and whether we could afford to buy it for renovation. we decided we could not afford to renovate it
