The Littlebury Hamlets History Group met in one last night - St Peter's at Littlebury Green, sensitively converted into a church-cum-hall and well used after a good deal more than a century.

This ‘tin tabernacle’ in Lyonshall, Herefordshire, was built in 1860 using corrugated iron.

They served fast-growing industrial towns and cities in England of which only 86 pre-fabricated churches still survive.

They weren’t intended for permanent use, and most were replaced.

Fine Italian parking here. Reminds me of Bill Bryson's description of Piazza Vittorio Emanuele in Rome as "resembling the aftermath of a parking competition for the blind".

4 well-spent £ in a secondhand bookshop. Published in 1957, it remains fresh as a daisy, the clearest, most readable explanation of boots-and-maps research on English fields, villages, towns and parks that I know. I have learned much - and (1957 again) it is beautifully written.
