Union Church Photo Opportunities

Strolled past the partially restored Union Church at the weekend – built in 1885 and designed by William Dowdall. It was wrecked by fire but the exterior has been restored – the interior still needs work and there’s no stained glass while, unsurprisingly, at the weekend it was all bolted up so forget the basic role of the place as, eerrr, a site of worship! No vicars around, just jackbooted, microphoned up Rockbund goons hassling poor migrant workers who stopped for a little sit down and made the place look untidy.

Still the church has become a major location for Shanghai couples to  come and have their wedding photos done…on the outside only obviously…

Nice to see church weddings are still popular!!
