Thanks Caz. Well at least they were identified by rootschatters, so that is a positive thing.

I don't know that other site at all so have no clue how active the members are. (or tenacious  ;))

Not a patch on Rootschatters!  ;)

Back up to speed now, thanks Caz  :D

Going back to Bugbear's observations about the road and the stonework
Road is not tarmac'd, there are cobbled crossing points/routes, and there ARE kerbed pavements.
It's in an area with supplies of stone; while you might transport stone for the building itself, I would very strongly expect the wall around it to be local - and it's made of big blocks of stone.

Don't know how it would help, but is it possible that the two lampposts are therefore the oldeest items in the picture, i.e. erected before the road and the church wall? As one lamppost is inside the church grounds and the one on the street seems to have had the kerb built around it?

Perhaps there was a long time lapse between constructing the two parts (the back building first, then the tower building would be my guess - different window fashions), so the road/wall had to be remodelled to accomodate the new build?

Like I say, no idea how this might help!

I can do a side by side comparison if you like and point out where I cloned out a black mark on the right hand side.

Not only that, this is a photo…printed on Kodak Paper..it's not a postcard.

Sorry - didn't appreciate that.

Sorry Jen, don't know what you mean.

I didn't realize that you were able to say positively that they were one and the same photo.

Ah I get you, for a second there I thought I'd offended you! Phew!  ;D ;D

Before I said anything I did a detailed comparison just to make sure.  ;)

Just a bit surprised to see them on another site 'tis all.

But isn't our Mike in Cumbria, the Mike Jones who posted the images of churches that we didn't know to the WAI churches forum?  So as to widen the search?  So actually there is only one image - the church forum one is the duplicate of your original.


Yes - that is Cazza's photo. I found that site with loads of photos of old churches and emailed the photo of the Barnsley church to see if the owner recognised it. He didn't, but offered to put it on his site to see if any of his regulars knew as "they like  challenge". Don't we all?  It was identified on RC, just a few days before someone on the other site also found it.  The owner hasn't come back to me with an ID for the latest one yet though - his regulars must have drawn a blank so far too.

Mike

Christ Church, Folkestone - and there isn't much of it left, only the tower.  There is now a garden of remembrance where the nave of the church once stood.

Look at this picture:

There is some history and another picture here:

This shows the tower with a bit more building on the top.
