Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes, Blackpool, Grade II* listed church in Whinney Heys Road, Blackpool, England.
The white Portland stone church features a copper-covered roof, horizontal band windows, and corner sculptures of saints at each aisle pinnacle.
The church was constructed between 1955 and 1957 as a thanksgiving offering for the protection of Blackpool during World War II bombing raids.
Inside, gold mosaic columns, geometric capitals, and yellow mosaic crosses in travertine flooring showcase the influence of early Christian design elements.
Visitors need to contact the keyholder in advance to access the building, which stands near Stanley Park and Blackpool Victoria Hospital.
The building includes a large relief sculpture of the Trinity with Angels above the entrance, created by artist David John and integrated into the design.
