Even more dramatic pictures
HERE. They did enough to get a good look at the chapel, but obviously what they found was too far gone.
I just looked up the chapel on Streetview. I must have cycled past it hundreds of times but have no recollection of ever seeing it! I am usually concentrating on the traffic there, but it is still a bit shocking...

I have just realised that the roadworks by the end of Bacup Rd in the summer must have been for the culvert to be diverted. There was a huge temporary water main installed along the road from between the red and green signs to beyond the chapel behind where the Streetview car was.
