people were out walking today: talking

the first image

is the centre piece

from the stained-glass window

of St. George's Church

long furlong drive

the britwell estate

slough

where my parents were married in '65

the church was demolished a couple of years ago

2003 i think

and my sister asked for Jesus's head panel

there was a whole body

but that got bulldozed

the glass is embedded in concrete

the concrete reminds me of the national theatre...

someone should have had the vision

to have preserved this 1950's building

the architecture

as an arts space

place

a theatre

or at least to have preserved the stained-glass panels:

the art space

DURING DEMOLITION

JUST BEFORE DEMOLITION

JESUS!

but it is good

that people are walking in the snow

and talking

today
