Tin Chapel at Halton This redundant "Tin Chapel" (which is a listed building) has been converted to a wonderful home. The basic structure has been enhanced by sympathetic window openings and although out of style the roof lights for the added first floor do not look out of place. I think this is because some "Tin Chapels" do have roof vents.

Storm drain pond This pond will accept water from the storm drains of the roads, roundabouts and car parks nearby. The water will then be slowly released so as to avoid erosion of local ditches.
