EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Tin Tabernacle FF98_00205, also known as St Chads Mission Church, nestled in the picturesque village of Blists Hill, Madeley, Shropshire. The exterior view showcases the church's entrance, inviting visitors to step into its rich history. Originally constructed in 1888 at Lodge Bank, Muxton, this corrugated iron church was specifically built to cater to the spiritual needs of colliery workers. Its relocation to this open-air museum exhibit in 1977 ensured that its legacy would be preserved for generations to come. Photographed by Eric de Mare between 1978 and 1980, this image beautifully encapsulates the essence of Victorian architecture and religious devotion. The striking red hue of the church stands out against its surroundings while symbolizing strength and resilience. Eric de Mare's keen eye for detail allows us a glimpse into a bygone era where faith played an integral role in people's lives. This photograph serves as a testament to both architectural ingenuity and community spirit. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured on film, let us reflect on how places like St Chads Mission Church have shaped our society today. May it inspire us all to appreciate our heritage and cherish these sacred spaces that hold stories untold.
