editDescriptionBirmingham skyline from the train in Digbeth (4774471825).jpg |
Mobile shots of the Birmingham skyline from the train heading into Birmingham Moor Street, passing Digbeth. Beyond here, I noticed work going on to add platforms 3 and 4 to the line. Also was a big hole in the viaduct (must have demolished a section for some reason). Passing the former church in Deritend, Digbeth (Father Lopes' Chapel). Skyline includes the Sentinels and the Beetham Tower. You maybe able to see the Cube from here as well.
It is a Grade II listed building (the dates below from Heritage Gateway maybe wrong).
Circa 1898-1900. Small brick built church but with considerable height to walls, in a basilican-Lombardic style with good Arts and. Crafts brickwork. The principal feature is the companile tower to the north-west corner, triple arcaded openings to the upper stages defined by moulded and cut brick cornices; pyramidal pantile roof. Similar roof cladding to main building with deeply moulded eaves cornice. Four round arched lancets light the side elevation. Former Church - Heritage Gateway Think that this former church was Father Lopes' Chapel. From Wikimapia: Unusually designed chapel in the Digbeth area of Birmingham. Now a car wash and is in desperate need of renovation. This building is deceptive. It was formerly the St Edmunds' Boys' Home. Behind this is the architectural oddity, featuring a fine Roman campanile, the structure was built privately as the chapel of a hostel for working boys by Father John Lopes. He was an Anglo-Catholic clergyman who in 1915, before the building was finished, joined the Church of Rome. The small basilican church was never used for services. Indeed, it has always served secular purposes. From Anchor Inn, Digbeth - Pub Walk The former St Edmunds' Boy's Home was designed by Mansell & Mansell. Two simple brick bays of 1912 fronting Deritend, then a bedroom extension with a wooden casement window, and a five-bay block of 1913 - 14 with hipped roof. Set back, the chapel of 1913 in Early Christian style, above a ground-floor workshop. Not quite as impressive as Dixon's or Ball's work (e.g. St Basil) but with an impressive campanile, closely based on that of S Giorgio in Velabro in Rome. The interior has an inserted floor, but retains a rich painte timber roof with king-post trusses on big consoles. From: Pevsner Architectural Guides: Birmingham by Andy Foster |
