It has been moved at angle since I had last seen it so it revealed its side Merry Christmas Beat City but the front was still visable. It did look better at an angle. The 45 record and music sheets on the bottom of the shrine had come unstuck and had been shoved forward so I had to put them back in and restick them. Now it is looking more like its normal self. In case you are wondering what the 45 records are. They are not famous bands or singers. Not worth anything in the collectors market.Valerie.BeatCItyhttp://www.adventshrines.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313311833708737654.post-84479809474960413152011-12-11T10:38:54.616+00:002011-12-11T10:38:54.616+00:00Another victim - this time an indoor shrine!

Like Piccadilly Circus or Times Square or the kind you see in shopping malls. I went to see the shrine early Saturday evening but unfortunately I could not find it. Some of the Cathedral was closed off, gated so I think it might have been in one of those places. I will go back as I would like to see it close up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313311833708737654.post-87473875574869188772011-12-05T12:45:26.138+00:002011-12-05T12:45:26.138+00:00Even knowing this is at the Cathedral, it's st...Even knowing this is at the Cathedral, it's still a good shrine hunt. To help you find it, have a look at the far side of the Cathedral, there's a raised section on that side and it's on a pillar shelf at the steps to that raised section. When looking at the shrine, you'll be just about in line with the wooden screen at the front of the choir stalls (where you can find the misericords).yvesravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773909833445361791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313311833708737654.post-85952396701132204522011-12-03T14:05:43.797+00:002011-12-03T14:05:43.797+00:00We've had a twitter comment from someone who t...We've had a twitter comment from someone who thought this shrine looks electronic, like it will change colour and shape (like an electric billboard).

Contents disposed of in the nearest bin (very considerate) and the box taken away to be re-used somehow somewhere. Let's hope the others last a bit longer.yvesravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773909833445361791noreply@blogger.com
