Bulls eye! And in the snow nice work.. I love that church. A corrugated piece with a great spire like something out of the mid west. Good work

I call a pre tag though... ;-)

@ hoefla The Cremorne riverside centre was clued with the word 'wiggle', so I included 'worth' in my clue: Sarah Wigglesworth's practice design both buildings. Bale was a reference to boats, and the second building's curious use of straw. All a bit shit when the photo was so un-cryptic.

@Sweaty Did that bonkers church (I knew it straight away as it always makes me laugh a bit) used to be a drinking hole?

(But please, people, no more sodding churches)

Well spotted!

These tin tabernacles are more common thn I ever supposed. The phrase that gave me this one was "Kilburn Sea Scouts", I was looking for a very similar building, that is no longer a church, down by Kilburn Park Station.

Good work on tonight's tags, been nice to see them from the warmth and dryness of home.

Actually that church is fucking funny. I know another one that really makes me laugh, a victorian neo-gothic stone, but given a novel twist by the present incumbents. And the row of chuches in an industrial estate near me.

We haven't had a church for aaaaages

Actually I think they're all old, I think partly because you'd never get planning permission now to build one. And the number is declining as some of them rust away or become derelict and have to be take down. Most of them were manufactured in the second half of the 19th century apparently. The one on Shrubland Road is believed to be the oldest surviving example of an iron church in existence.

I tried to get this first thing this morning but dave beat me to it. Knew I should have gone last night!

Another one in my ends so... 2 in 2 days!

Old tag: City and Islington College, Camden Road
New tag: The house of a nobel pioneer, but which of us ar gonna get it?

@Skully, I've never been able to get a drink in there. Queue'd up there once with a load of folk, noticed that all they were serving at the bar was one sip from a cup and a wafer that you had to kneel for so i made a swift exit to Pub on the Park :-)

Boom SRBradley. Nice work. Was so tempted to roll down holloway road and get that this morning, but bacon and egg butty was calling.

FFFFFUUUU..... just got on a computer to upload mine.

Can I call SRBradley out for breaking Rule 3 and post mine anyway?

Sorry man, I had my shreddies this morning. I've easily abided by rule 3 though.

He means the old rule 3.

I was about to accuse tommmmmmmmm of pot-kettle-black accusations, but while checking my facts to back this up I've discovered that I've just been reading tommmmmmmmmmmm and tomoh as the same person. Not that Tomoh had really been hogging the game, just he got 2 in quick succession. Anyway, I think new contributors are allowed to be enthusiastic, if it gets out of hand words will be had.

Oh right rule 7. Yeah I worried about that but I've done 2 ever and those 3 tags are with 1/2 mile of one another and I'm not likely to do any more for a week.
Thats my case for the defence y'r honor.

Old:

Sir William Ramsay's home 12 Arundel Gardens. The guy was a chemist who discovered the noble gases Argon and Neon with Lord Rayleigh (is that why you did this tag with your bike?) and won the Nobel prize for chemistry in 1904, Lord Rayleigh was presented with the Nobel prize for physics in the same year. He is buried in Hazlemere C of E cemetery in High Wycombe and gave his name to a school that I was expelled from.

New:

Another, near by, less noble scientific pioneer. Could be mistaken for a shepherd.

Oh and by the way my suspicions about the wrong building were wrong as I was confused by street view.

And found.

You guys have got until 5:30pm to get it, otherwise I'm getting it on the way to Henry's ride.

Bang on Bobbo! The blue plaque was also unveiled a year ago yesterday and Ramsay was an early London cyclist, cycling the 4 miles on cobbled streets from that house to UCL in 18 minutes:

The Rayleigh (as in Rayleigh scattering, as in the reason the sky is blue) - Raleigh (as in Team Banana) connection was also a nice tie in.

Great work on the new tag!

Another church???

Not even remotely that clue is all in the name

Shit this thread IS moving fast for a working day. Especially impressed with Bobbo's post birthday drinks tag. You haz feelings man.
Foiled again:

(Got this nice litte one for the new one which i'll save now for a nice summer day):

NB This is NOT the new tag

I swear the S in ISLINGTON has been installed upside down.

cyclotron, have you read the XKCD today/yesterday about kerning?
