Hi Annie,
Last week we saw one edge and now we can see all of it :o ;D but just can't read it ::) It's between the pillars on the far wall, right at the back, not the one on the left 8) Never mind I'll put on my list for Santa ;D So at this rate we might soon have it all ;)

It's the one right at the back between the columns. The one on the left is the X1th Station of the Cross. This photo is taken from a video of the last mass - very moving :'(

Cheers

I wish I could figure out what the last few posts on this thread are about - how did we get into a church from the Lees Street cenotaph ?

'ave a cold one on me Shaun !!  :D

Sorry ... it's me and my butterfly mind again !!

The church is the St Francis Monastery in Gorton .... or the Gorton Monastery .... and I'm doing a WW1 Honour Roll for it ..... the original has been lost .... so I'm collecting all kinds of photos etc to see if we can find the original names ! Tony just came across a film of the very last Mass that was said there in the 1980's

Sorry if we confused everybody ..... but it's Christmas after all !!

Have a good one !!

Annie  :)

And to get back on topic ....... I just found another photo but I can't see the names !!  :-\

Sorry Shaun,
I realised as I was posting, it may have been to the wrong thread, but Annie is so prolific in her postings you have to catch her when you can ;D

We've both been pursuing the same quest from different angles.

cheers
