The Holy Trinity Church fence

The old fence on the wall around the Holy Trinity Church in Central has always fascinated me and it makes for a nice foreground for photos of the church as well.

St Phillips in Richmond Hill

Driving around Richmond Hill last week I just couldn't help but to stop in front of St Phillips for a photo.  When Sue and Max started Port Elizabeth Daily Photo St Phillips was featured quite often as they live nearby.  Me on the other hand live across town and don't get to come here that often.  Want to know more about the history of the church?  Just click the link for a post from last year.

Plantation chapel

I won a night at The Plantation at the #ECMeetup recently and a few weeks ago the Damselfly and I made use of my prize (which I still need to post about).  The afternoon after checking in we took a walk around the property and I snapped this pic of the chapel entrance - seeing that they're a wedding venue and all..

St Peter’s Greek Orthodox Church

Since taking over PE Daily Photo (which has been over 7 years already), I don't think I've posted a photo of the Greek church in Parsons Hill yet.  Every time I pass it I think I should stop but always either didn't have my camera or didn't have time.  This week I passed again and had both some time and my camera.  The church is the St Peter's Greek Orthodox Church and the well known Hellenic Hall is also part…

Then and Now: St Peters Church (ruins)

When the Queen Elizabeth cruise ship was in the PE Harbour a few weeks ago I took a drive to the St Peters Church ruins in South End as it has a great view of the harbour.  It's been a year or two since I've last been there so I took a walk around the ruins and snapped a few pictures.  I found this old picture of St Peters with the Fishermen's Cross in front of it and decided to…

St Peter’s windows

Just imagine what these windows of the St Peter's church ruins would have looked like with stained glass windows in a beautiful historic church compared to this.

St Cuthberts church steeple

I was at the Westbourne Oval this morning for Drama Princess' school's athletics but couldn't help but to snap a pic of St Cuthberts Anglican Church's steeple down the road before heading inside.

The history of St Philips Church in Richmond Hill

I sometimes ask myself, "Self, how many people every wonder about the history of an old building when they drive past it?"  I snapped a picture of St Philips Church in Richmond Hill yesterday and decided to go and see if I can find any information about the church's history and background.  Guess what? I'm going to share what I found with you. St Philip started as a mission church way back in about 1872 with families, mostly Dutch speaking, who had moved to…

St Philips Church and Street

The St Philips Anglican Church in St Philips Street, Richmond Hill use to feature quite often on PE Daily Photo after Sue and Max started it as they stay just up the road from it.  I don't get to Richmond Hill that often but had to stop at the church to *cough* look for a Geocache today.  I just had to take a pic or two.  I'll post the other one tomorrow.
