Rockferry Baptist Church, April 2010

[elwinvsschools]

Went on a trip to Liverpool. On the way, we were confused by a giant thing which was too bendy to be a building, and ended up geing a giant head alongside the M62 motorway at St Helens. It was awesome but pretty weird too.

Totally stunned by all the empty buildings, but loads were seriously shuttered up, and the easier stuff was still more than we were up for. We went past several rows of houses that were all boarded up. At the end of one we found this little church. We spoke to some guy taking shots of the boarded street, talked shop, and posed for a photo for him.

Can't find any history on this place unfortunately :( if anyone local knows anything, please add it.

After a bit of a squeeze, we were in.

Completely trashed.

There were loads of cool little things amongst the rubble though.

A few books lay around...

But it wasn't all random crap. There were a few cool features mostly intact.

Hardly an exceptional piece of kit. But with a fix up on the electronics it would have been a brilliant machine.

We passed a place on princes road that looked insane but it was well boarded and on the market. Between two churches I think. Absolutely insane. Think Liverpool is somewhere we're gonna go back to.
