cainedkaty Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Is that cladding on the wall to the right of the steps on the group photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandyjf Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 I thought the wall looked like sand stone, being pale and irregular. It's a shame this shot is slightly blurred. Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I will look into the Star suggestion, but as I don't take the Star I'll have to buy Saturday's copy to find out what to do etc. and take it from there.

AlanMN Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Having seen your wedding photo I am convinced I have the answer. It was taken at St. Cuthberts FirVale. The steps are to the left of the entrance to the church and used to lead up to the church hall. The steps are still there I believe but the church hall has gone. The current church tower was not built at the time of your photo. It must have been common practice to use these steps because I have a photo with my sister has a bridesmaid taken in an identical fashion. Hope this helps Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandyjf Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Thanks Alan! This is where we suspected it had been taken but couldn't quite place it. I'm going down there this weekend when I can persuade someone to come with me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xfox3x Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Can't think of any other church that had steeper steps than the one top of South Road . I don't mean St Marys on South Rd, it's the one further up on the hill, don't know the name That was St Joseph's church, convent and nursing home.

mandyjf Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 The steps certainly look like St Cuthberts, looking at the photo I took today. Sadly, the building they led up to is an area of rubble, weeds and litter. http://s1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh630/mandyjf/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
