Helter skelter...

According to the Guardian's website, a 55ft tall helter skelter has been installed in the nave of Norwich Cathedral, so visitors can get a closer view of the ornate roof, before sliding down. The article points out that the helter skelter comes after Rochester Cathedral in Kent installed a crazy golf course in the aisle. I don’t know where this new trend is heading. I only know that we need to find alternative uses for many, perhaps most, of our churches. They can’t all become carpet showrooms… or mosques.

A church I saw yesterday, in the suburbs of Selby. As a stock pic - and a visual metaphor - I thought there might be a multiplicity of possible uses...
