I have recounted its history before (here) so won't repeat it again but suffice to say that one of the landmarks of Birmingham is this disused church, very visible from the train. I have wanted to see inside it as it now is for ever, so am delighted to see a virtual opportunity is available as a result of it being for sale for £3,000,000. I've also found a picture of the interior taken in 1990 when it was in use as a homeless hostel. Picture credits: rightmove.co.uk, Birmingham Mail, & another unknown source - I've had that picture saved for ages.
Do you see the cobbles on the streets? Everywhere you look, stone & rock. Can you imagine what it feels like to reach down with your bones & feel the living stones? The city is built on itself, all the cities that came before. Can you imagine how it feels to lie down on an ancient flagstone & feel the power of the rock buoying you up against the tug of the world? And that's where witchcraft begins. The stones have life, & I'm part of it. - adapted from Terry Pratchett
