Thanksgiving Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes, Whinney Heys Road, Blackpool - Blackpool (UA)

C20 war memorial thanksgiving chapel, vacant since 1998. The chapel's external appearance belies the extent of severe damage to internal historic fabric. Now in the hands of the Historic Chapels Trust, which implemented a scheme of urgent repairs with the help of Historic England, the chapel requires further repair work to the interior and the Trust are actively seeking opportunities for reuse.
