Product Description
Product Description
In a broad overview, this book looks at the story of corrugated iron churches, chapels, mission halls and related buildings. It features archive and contemporary material illustrating this almost-forgotten part of our architectural and industrial heritage. In attempting to explain how these buildings were produced, who they were for, and why we should consider them important, the book shows how these buildings reflected the society in which they were created and flourished. A photographic survey gathers together just some of the surprising number of these buildings which still survive.

Tin Tabernacles,

This review is from: Tin Tabernacles: Corrugated Iron Mission Halls, Churches & Chapels of Britain (Hardcover)
This is a fascinating book, well-illustrated, about an architectural subject which few people ever notice. Many towns and villages possess these corrugated iron churches, known as "Tin Tabernacles", many dating back to the nineteenth century. But how often do we stop and look at them ?

An excellent publication,

This review is from: Tin Tabernacles: Corrugated Iron Mission Halls, Churches & Chapels of Britain (Hardcover)
I happen to be about to do some repairs to such a building, and found this gave me some useful comparative details on colour and finishing touches (finials etc.). I enjoyed the book.
