City Temple - Hull - October 08

[KingElvis]

This is Hull City Temple which has been abandoned since 1984. It's a former Methodist Chapel and the current owner plans to convert it into flats. After visiting, I would say he has his work cut out for him.

The building is very impressive from the outside but inside it's a real mess. There are holes all over the floor and the upper balcony level and strange stage type thing look very unsafe.

A lovely building just left to rot. Some more info on it here.

Big thanks to Muse :thumb

Sorry about the pictures, I just couldn't take a good one today for some reason :(

It was a case of apathy and trying to get back on the road for work purposes.

Maybe mate, no idea.....

There was a HUGE rat in there though, and it sure didn't look like Remy

I was waiting to see a report for this place, I've had my eye on it for a while but after hearing several sources say someone was in the process of acquiring/ buying the land for one reason or another I decided not to attempt any recon yet.

With regards to the Rat, We have some huge ones in Hull :-P. I wonder if he was the same one I saw attack a cat and then scarper. When I saw that occur I thought it was two cats messing around then I noticed it was a huge rat and I was like wow.

Any ways, nice photos.

It looks as though its got to the stage of ripping apart everything but the external walls and building afresh inside the shell. Mustve been a beautiful church in its day. If you want to see something similar thats been done well, go check out brighouse (wankerspoons) weatherspoons:thumb
