Yet more railings!

I know,I know, Iv'e got a 'thing' about railings. I find it fascinating just how many examples survived WWII

These are Edwardian, in cast and wrought iron. Where are they?

I think this is the old chapel (Methodist?) as you go out of Ossy past the Shoulder of Mutton.

Drat, foiled again!

Yes it's Green Haworth Wesleyan Chapel, 1856, re-built 1905. One of a decreasing number of such buildings that appears to have survived in it's original condition.

*****INCIDENTALLY*****

If anyone has the contact details for the caretakers of this building I would be extreeemly grateful if you could forward them to me. Thanks.

Thanks for the coconut. I've seen this building gradually deteriorating over the years and had no idea that it actually had a caretaker!
