Far too busy being shocked about finding myself pregnant again ;)<br /><br />Wonderful to read about tin churches, a few years ago I found out that we had our very own one in St Albans. Its mentioned here: http://www.ssaviours.org/TheStory/Wilton%20Hall.htm<br /><br />The only actual experiences of them I have had are this one at the Chiltern Open Air Museum which has a special feel about it http://www.flickr.com/photos/topcat_angel/2541009634/<br />However I do recall a lot of tin buildings from my travels around Western Australia and there really is something special about them, they do take you back to a lost time and not in the same way that National Trust properties do, if you know what I mean. Fantastic that its been saved, for now anyway...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08577641788742285017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876862148358784705.post-25088076976919187662011-08-10T21:02:15.113+01:002011-08-10T21:02:15.113+01:00It is a shame when hostels close and old buildings...It is a shame when hostels close and old buildings knocked down--better to see them re-purposed.<br /><br />Wishing you many happy hours in your new shed.

My Great Nan and Grandad used to clean the one in the village. <br /><br />Don't know about any shagging behind our hall, but I certainly smoked a few underage cigarettes there.<br /><br />The Jan Morris book is an absolute cracker, one of my all time favourites I think.Doofushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15368086816490113661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876862148358784705.post-85391732615621389202011-08-10T16:12:55.908+01:002011-08-10T16:12:55.908+01:00I think that's part of the charm of unspoilt W...I think that's part of the charm of unspoilt Wales.

I also saw an article about one being lived in, it was gorgeous inside. The local one is at Babingley, and has a thatched roof, and was restored many years ago. I used to drive down there to photograph it in the various stages of going from decrepitude to beauty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876862148358784705.post-85342011357076122832011-08-09T11:33:27.449+01:002011-08-09T11:33:27.449+01:00I agree.
