I recently heard car rides described as 'tin tabernacles', so on my drive today I have been listening to the Blind Boys Of Alabama.

In the #TinTabernacle at #WealdAndDownlandLivingMuseum

Soon it will officially be spring, and #cycling weather, so here's a pic of the famous iron tea room at #Capheaton in #Northumberland, built 1921 as the Village Institute, now village hall. A splendid tea version of a #tintabernacle open weekends but do check first!

A corrugated iron church. Black and white Victorian photo, tenements in background. Canal, towpath and wall in foreground

#TinTabernacle of North Merchiston (later John Ker Memorial) U. P. Church in Polwarth. This was situated on Yeaman Place, canal is in foreground of photo. Erected 1883 until permanent church was completed, used as a mission hall and scrapyard office thereafter. Remains demolished recently (I think)

This handsome #tintabernacle is now at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, but originally was built by Francis Morton & Co elsewhere in Morningside in 1876, then moved to its present site (in 1884) when a permanent church was put up. Still in use as an activity centre #Edinburgh

So good to see an old #tintabernacle in use again, now as a yoga centre. It is in #Selkirk and this was the Scottish Episcopal church hall (1920) by Speirs & Co - the octagonal window is their trademark touch

Here’s a story that captures why I’m interested in taking pictures of Tin Sheds around Wales.
Carmel (English Congregational Church) in Trebanog, Rhondda. A
#TinTabernacle is a subset of sheds in general I believe @readersheds.co.uk

A former church made of corrugated iron. Very rusty and looking derelict. At Bailbrook outside Bath

#BailbrookMissionChurch #Bailbrook near #Bath. Splendid #tintabernacle in a sad state. Such a fancy design #corrugatediron
