Bradford Cathedral Sep 10 - Not Urbex

[RichardH]

Well, as you so rightly pointed out EH are a bunch of useless muppets anyway.

Can we get just slightly political and hope and pray fervently that, if any quangos get the ick, EH is first up against the wall?

I have literally just come back from La Familia (in Barcelona just in case people hadn't heard of it) paid 12 Euros to get in then find out we aren't allowed up the friggin' Towers will happily post some of the shots if you want to see them but wary of it not being true Urbex. Nice shots though bud and difficult level (Advanced) to boot

know of one church in particular which got an EH grant for re-leading the roof. The church wanted to put a lead substitute on - lighter, substantially cheaper, and after a couple of years looks just like weathered lead. And in any case, the church was crenellated and the only way to see the outside of the roof was to look out of the windows in the tower. "Oh no," say EH. "Lead, or you don't get any money. Gotta be authentic."

I know what you mean - a lot of times these bodes like EH can miss the wood for the trees. On that occasion I think they got it right - lead's a superb material and properly installed can last 150 years

Last time I went to Salisbury cathedral the had a 'voluntary' entrance fee but made you feel like a social pariah if you didn't pay.

I've got a very thick skin where things like that are concerned. I can easily cope with being a pariah.

I know these places cost money to keep up and I usually put some money in the collection box.

Foxylady asked about paying. I went to Norwich Cathedral last summer and I had to pay £ 3.00.
