Freebird & myself had a few hours to kill on the way to Barrow In Furness for freebirds 'keeper for a day' pressie. We wanted to call in at Whittingham on route, however, first we wasted far too long trying to access St Josephs in Preston. Much to our disappointment access was impossible & after being moved on by security we only had an hour or so remaining for Whittingham. With time limited we only accessed Cameron House & externally viewed St Johns Chapel. We got as far as the water tower but alas had overstayed our time that day! :cry:
On with the pics...
First a couple of St Josephs....one for the future! :p

A useless window

A view of a skylight that's not long for this world!

Ok so i added my name but what the heck

Obligatory toilet shot

The mosaic just inside the main entrance

These were passable with care

We were surprised to see this intact
