I had a trudge upto St Peters today. Did a walk round the whole building first and there's sections of the building that look to be on the piss......like one section is moving away from the other. It is built on a hill which slopes down to the road and it is in the vicinity of where St Johns Colliery shafts may have been so it looks like there may be some subsidence issues. Which could explain why they left.
Impressive building though, some lovely gargoyles in the masonry and it's surrounded by our good friend Block n Mesh, though it's obviously been on the recieving end of some brute force and ignorance.
It looks like a no go but i'm sure there's some who are braver than me. It is overlooked from pretty much all sides and as it is on a hill any twilight activity would be spotted a mile off. Also the grounds are still public pathways to the adjoining cemetary which is still alive and kicking.
So all there was to do was take some pics, as i couldn't get in i decided to prat about with the camera for an hour.
Enjoy!
...and last but not least my favourite shot of the day....
Hope you like
