The metal structure remains on top of the building but is hanging above the walkway of the church
Locals have been told to avoid a church after a flagpole on top of the building snapped during Storm Darragh. According to bosses at St Bartholomew’s Parish Church in Westhoughton , the pole remains on top of the establishment but is hanging over the walkway.
The warning, which has led to the cancellation of events in Greater Manchester and beyond including Christmas attractions and the Merseyside derby, was in place from 3am and ended at 11am on Saturday. The Met Office warned of “damaging winds” with gusts of 93mph recorded in parts of the UK.
