Church of Christ the King, Bowburn
Built in 1976, this striking futuristic church stood in the former mining village of Bowburn. Unfortunately, it suffered serious design faults and was closed in September 2004. At the time of photography the building was in a sorry state with the roof in a poor state of repair, and the whole premises fortified like Fort Knox against vandals. The building was demolished in May 2007, just leaving the cross standing.

Bowburn church
An interesting and very striking building but a flawed design and it was sadly demolished after standing empty for several years.

Terrace of houses at Bowburn
The terrace as viewed from a public footpath which at the time had been closed by the local authority because of the obvious groundwork being done for the 'Integra 61' Development. There was far more of it behind the camera position with heavy machinery manoeuvring. Another adjacent path was also closed. There was no warning of the path closures as an approach was made to them from the west and so the decision was made to press on through the works as not to, would have involved a significant retracing of steps.
