Visited with Judderman and ZerO81 - a planned day out for weeks, should add that this was a very, very late Plan B.
So Plan B, Plan A having suffered a fire the day before - fire and pillage (and the Daily Mail) are currently pissing me off.
I'm not a fan of religion, but the buildings are always worth a look.
So we popped down the motorway, as you do, to this lovely little tourist resort of a disused synagogue which closed a good few years back and now sits fighting the elements.
The place had been leaking left right and centre, wooden floors lifting.
Time for some close up stuff, having remembered to bring my overly expensive macro lens that I never use.
Given the number of photographers visiting this place, things move around - such as the wheelchair, which moved at least 4 times during my brief visit.
Into the main hall
And finally a bit of Nigella in the caretaker's room.
Something a little special this one, a bit of tourist spot but a gem of a place.

Very interesting! Most of it looks twentieth century, but there are some very old (or at least old-style) chandeliers in one picture. I am dying to know where it is, as I have visited synagogues all over England and Poland, and the various styles are so fascinating. I wonder if it's near enough for me to get to from Southport, but I suspect it's in Kent. Help! jcowellnixATyahoo.com
