The Reptile House

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Another spot: St George's Field behind the Henry Price building: I'm sure that's where a lot of the early 80's "graveyard" photos were taken. (such as the one on the Floorshow EP)

:eek: :lol: Why John, you're absolutely right! :lol: :oops:

As I recall though, it was Indrek not Francis who eventually took the photo, and I made him delete it because it was raining and rain is not conducive to Good Hair. :oops:

We passed the Rising Sun pub on the way to Kirkstall Abbey. Claire and Indrek were too busy looking at his photos of London to listen to my commentary though. I think they'd got a bit fed up with my "I used to live there ... and there ... and there ..." by then. :roll:

Top photos Indrek. :notworthy:

Bonus points to anyone who can locate the green room. :lol:

@AndrewS: Custard or Jam? :innocent:

@Markfiend: As I understand it the F Club moved around a bit. A friend of mine who I've lost touch with used to go when it was in Brannigans, but I'm not sure where that was. I think we've had this discussion before haven't we?

The Warehouse has had some serious renovations take place since I used to frequent it. The location of several key features (bar, DJ booth etc) all seems to have moved around. The stage and dance floor are the same, as are the raised platforms and seating areas, but the "chill" out lounge is a new thing.

Kirkstall Abbey is a beautiful place. One of the few places in God's Own County unsullied by the march of time, local ordinance and their enthrallment to the English zloty. :|

I only really took them there to check out the car park over the road. You must have seen a few green rooms in your time, Chairman.

No, we were not fed up at all :)
Sorry if you felt so.
And I rememeber it was me who noticed that pub and said something about A House Of The Rising Sun (and New Orleans and A House Of The Rising Water).

Ah... now thanks to the wonders of cut and paste, I can see a skinny black-clad Not-Goth fella with shades... :von: :innocent: :kiss:

(BTW - the photos... I couldn't see them at first, but when I copied and pasted the first two I could see them when I looked again at this thread... bloody technology - go figure :von: :urff: .)

Beautiful - yes. Unsullied by the march of time - not when I saw it in February. I had trouble getting photos that didn't show the somewhat extensive scaffolding. It was very nice scaffolding mind you, and there was enough of the ruins untouched to show off the beauty of the place.

Thanks! I couldn't see the photo's either. That was pretty annoying. Now I can see them and I like what I see. Nicely taken!
