Was Sir Cliff a massive cokehead at this point?!

I didn’t really ever think of how many crazy architecture churches there are about. Nothing skateable at this one (I think) but its an interesting building.

Wow, that’s a shame it got demo’d, love that it built in some quiet unassuming area. Was there a competition to make to craziest modern style church at some point?

No one mentioned Fairfield Halls yet

These look good.

I went to Napoli once when I was in Rome with a girl and she wanted to go to a beach so we saw that Napoli was on the coast so we went there but it was just docks. And slums. Pizza was average.

Little off topic but My mind often wanders to this image when thinking about this sort of architecture. That and it’s fucking gnarly.
