St Michael Church added to Places of Worship in Yorkshire and the Humber by Kcscott on 26/03/2024

Nice little church situated off the A1136 with a large car park Infront of it which can be very busy at times. Only Obstruction to watch out for is trees around the church perimeter.

The oldest part of the Church is Early English, which is known since there is a pillar supporting the south aisle roof which is 13th century. The small Church was rebuilt in 14th-15th centuries, though an extension built in the early 1900’s made the church much bigger.
The Church was extended in 1912-1914 by the building of the north part of the church, including the tower, the newer nave and chancel. They were built out of a bequest by Joseph Chapman, a timber merchant who is buried in the graveyard. Sir Walter Tapper, a renowned church architect, built them in a 13th century style. Unusually, part of this extension made to the Church included a new nave situated next to the church building, alongside what was then the current nave. The newer nave was much longer than the previous one and results in the Church having a somewhat unusual shape, being rather wide on the south side. This addition of a longer nave adjacent to a smaller one, meant it was difficult when in the ancient nave to see the altar at the front of the newer nave. As a result, the space when you enter the Church from the south door which is the ancient nave is now used as a hall space; whereas the 1900’s extension is used today for worship.

Burscough Curves, West Lancashire (By Bradders101)

Location of the old railway embankments that historically linked the Ormskirk/ Preston and Wigan / Southport lines together.
Rail services linking the lines were discontinued back in 1960’s and the track removed in 1973. Local campaigners have pushed Network Rail to reinstate the tracks and electrify the lines as the embankments still remain…but to date still no avail.

Nant-y-Gro Dam Buster trials (remains), Powys (By liberator24)

This small dam in mid Wales played a part in the Dam Busters operation. In July 1942 a prototype charge was proof-tested at this dam in the Elan Valley, where 280lbs of high-explosive destroyed the central portion of the masonry dam. The experiment was a complete success. The evocative and sobering remains of the bombed dam may still be seen today.

Black Nore Lighthouse, North Somerset (By Nairners)

This is an old lighthouse off the coast of Portishead. Great spot to test out orbits etc... loads of room and there is ample residential parking just next door. (I suggest parking on Pinecroft road).

In front of the lighthouse is a large (approx 10x10 feet) concrete pad which is great for TOAL as the area around is quite rocky and not suitable to rest a drone on.
