Chapel part 2..

Not radio related again...

Yesterday I wandered along to the see what was happening with the old chapel that collapsed 28/11/2013 in Launceston. Lots of activity on site. They are not hanging about.

I'm not sure how far they are going with the demolition, but the roof is fully down now and the task of clearing out the rubble is well underway. 

I dont think it will be to long before the road and pathway  are open again.

I have posted a few pictures here of the progress so far.

Our Local Chapel collapsed

Not a radio post in any way shape or form (sorry)

At about 12:20am on Thursday morning a chapel in my local town collapsed. It had been closed for some time  and was up for sale.

I have posted a few pictures that I took on a visit on Thursday morning when the dust had settled and the emergency services had gone home.

Nobody was hurt in the collapse as the building was boarded up. The fire brigade searched the site with a dog in case of rough sleepers etc, but nothing was found.
