A few weeks ago I had said that there probably wasn't much chance of photographing many more tin tabernacles as I thought I'd done most or all of those within an hours drive of our house.
Fast forward to an evening with a couple of family members in the south, one of whom used to be quite active on Flickr. "What are you taking shots of these days Dave?" to which Mrs K jumps in with "he's got a bit of a thing about tin tabernacles at the moment". Tin what? he said. So I went through the usual stuff...bought mail order usually, sometimes reputedly from Harrods, sometime just after the year 1900. "Ooh I've never seen one or heard of those, I don't think there are any round here" he said. So the following day I found this gem less than 15 minutes away.
And I got chatting to the odd job man who was doing a bit of maintenance who let me inside for a look around.
