St Margaret's church, Bodelwyddan

The spire suffered significant damage to the finials in a storm in 2022. The damage could cause further issues to the roof fabric unless resolved. Nicknamed "Pearl of the Vale" when it was first built due to its lavish design. Its walls contain more than a dozen varieties of marble, earning it the nickname "the Marble Church" from locals. The grand Grade II listed building has an impressive spire which is more than 200ft tall.

Study of a Gasoline Station

Applegreen, St Asaph. This photograph is part of a series taken in homage to the American artist Ed Ruscha's 1963 publication of 'Twentysix Gasoline Stations'. More properly known as filling stations in the UK, I am attempting to photograph as many as possible to mark the sixty year anniversary.
