- A little look at this beautiful little church type building on Church road with its unusual gargoyles, there are a selection of still pictures of all the gargoyles at the end of the video.....and it has buried levels like every other building in the street.

really interesting cheers. It's a Moorish looking little 'church'
I live near this i would of loved to have seen it in its day. I have always wondered what it looks like inside now. I remember it being a wallpaper shop
I remember it as a wallpaper shop I have never seen it when it was a church.
All those holes in the side of the building are maybe wave guides that Global Vision has talked about.
i do intend going back through some of global visions videos as they make more sense now and i am able to understand these buildings a little better.
@@daveeboney7089 He put out some good video's
@@williamjones7604 i agree i have learnt quite a lot from his videos
Morning Dave might get the Mini out to have a closer look for you, great job Dave very interesting 👍.
Hi steve....i would give this area a miss because over the road is a covid testing centre along the road is a second covid testing centre also you have the police station in the same area so in light of this virus carry on and they dont like pictures taking of these centres so a drone overhead might get you in to trouble. I do have a couple of areas of interest regarding your drone i will sort out the image of the area i am on about and send them over to you.👍
@@daveeboney7089 thanks for the heads up dave.
@@Steve53 no bother steve
It makes me wonder about those statues. Are they representations of real entities or just imagination....
i have wonder about that myself....i live in a small market town but the range of creatures is staggering. This video shows the cross section of the beasts that adorn the local churches in my town. th-cam.com/video/vF6OL0Gkgzw/w-d-xo.html
My Mother lived a few doors down from here when it was called Paradise Row, she went to the Methodist Chapel here ,three times on a Sunday I don't think she liked it very much , the CO-Op Dairy was over the road.
I remember the dairy well!
My thoughts...... : )
I think the word 'church' is a different spelling of the word 'charge' as in, electrical charge. If you look at how electricity is created today you'll find it involves copious amounts of steam that turn turbines that are attached to generators that 'generate' the electrical charge. ALL power plants need cooling towers to allow the steam to condense. Those 'towers' ARE cooling towers - that's why there are holes in the top of it, to release the pressure - and when the steam condenses it becomes water - and the water runs through the pipes and out of the mouths of the gargoyles. You can see the pipework attached to them!
The reason that towers had bells was as a warning signal if the steam pressure was too high (because then the bell would sway and start ringing). Depending on the pressure the construction was built to withstand would dictate what size of bell is required to indicate dangerous levels.
The towers were used like our own electric towers are used today - many spires still have multiple nodules showing where wiring used to be attached. The gargoyles are the personification of 'power'. They were symbols - or logos - showing the purpose of the building.
Also, I've recently looked into the huge organs in 'churches' - they were developed to run on steam! There are smaller versions of them that were made by the ancient Greeks that show how they work - so the 'churches' were no doubt being used for entertainment AS WELL.... and that's another thing, wells!
Wells are holes in the ground ... thermal wells are used today to create electricity by punching into the hot steam vents below ground. I'll bet that below that 'church' - and all other churches - there are thermal wells. Think about it - 'hole' holy water, 'well' as in feeling better (water from the hole that makes you feel well!) - thermal water has long been known to make your aches and pains ease - there are 'natural thermal springs' that people bath in today! So, the 'holy water' in the 'church' at the 'altar' - all starts to make sense.
Not only did the 'church' provide energy, it provided music and relaxation - it promoted good health! NOW it makes sense why there were so many of them!
BUT - this is what happens when a thermal vent system goes wrong - th-cam.com/video/1PXS1OIAD4o/w-d-xo.html - and I suspect that a magnetic pole reversal would create the situation that we are looking at today.
I've rambled on enough, Dave - sorry. I was just keen to voice my opinion, lol. Great video, my friend, and all the best to you.
WoW Cathy.....all of what you say makes perfect sense and has answered so many question i had about these buildings. Steam and the need to control the flow of steam through the cavities of these building. I am always banging on about the churches having an extensive cavity and how the need to control the flow of steam around the cavities was part of the functionality of the building. Steam power organs also the promoting of good heath via the well it mind blowing and makes perfect sense. Fantastic information again Cathy thanks...xx
no...dont stop rambling! This is the most interesting comment ive ever read. More information from your comment than from entire videos. Oh my goodness. Everything you said is so obvious as soon as you said it. Thanks...wow
@@veilbreak5867 that's so kind of you. Thank you.
@@daveeboney7089 Thank you.
@@veilbreak5867 cathy is a very clever lady..i hope she does not mind my linking this video that she made....it is mind blowing what you can find when you go looking. I do recommend you watch it👍😊th-cam.com/video/ravFaYvNsnQ/w-d-xo.html
I've always wondered why "church's" have gargoyles on them, but it opens a can of werms, if you ask religouse people 😂
i do ask in churches when i can get inside but its the same reply no one knows...i have a gargoyle video of some of the different types of gargoyles in my town they range from ordinary looking head of people to flesh eating dragons...lolth-cam.com/video/vF6OL0Gkgzw/w-d-xo.html do you use f/b at all Wee man?
@@daveeboney7089 sent a friend request bud👍
in this old map that I found it isn't showing as a church maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=54.5608&lon=-1.3038&layers=171&b=1
or is it? I think it might be the black building on paradise row?
the map is around 1890
@@jjhynd7302 its a really interesting map i think it might be the black building but I still think is was built long long before the date it became a church.....It would be a lot easier to tell if I could get below in the basement levels to look. I have been below a house along from this place and I reckon the basement is mid 1700s if not earlier.
@@daveeboney7089 thanks for your response Dave, Don't suppose you ever got a look at 16-17 Smith Street the georgian buildings there in particular the old printers property
@@jjhynd7302 are you sure it is smith street as I can not find a Smith street in stockton🤔
@@daveeboney7089 you wouldn't find anything, it has been completely demolished inside : it is merely a shell and permission is given to the purchaser to demolish the whole thing as it is not listed.
Ps. Not sure where you get i893 from, it is stated as built i821/i865 depending what the source is: tho' that will be when its' use was changed to 'methodist chapel' it is obviously not a church anyway.
