New Copper on Spire


They have finished re-coppering the spire to St James Church, it is nice and new and has not had a chance to get the verdigris effect.

    Oh that must have cost a pretty penny or two. What an improvement it will be as far as looks goes when it turns bright green.

    I like the way you have placed it against modern building.

    I miss the green but the restoration isn't at all bad.

    Years ago, I wasn't a fan of the green corrosion on copper but now I prefer seeing that weathered look.

    I think they must have passed the plate around a few times to pay for that. Money well spent.

    Keep that photo, Peter. Then take another one in 10 years to compare. It'll be interesting.
