So the church sits between 2 multis, 70 metres apart and 22 stories high IIRC. Both coming down on Sunday with the church to be left intact and open on Wednesday

I can see why the church should be saved, it’s a gem of a building 😯

Looking at the aerial photo it should be easy enough.

They’ll scaffold the church and protect it from the dust most likely.

Ooooo what time is it going down?

I might head up the Law and watch it with the NEDs

I’m sure God will be watching over them………..

Lucky there’s no graveyard – the noise from those explosives could wake the dead!
