circa 1970
The original church stood on an island of land between Hartington
Road and Lesseps Road before its demolition. There was a Sunday School attached
and this is marked behind the church, on
the map. This, was opened in 1885 and later enlarged (1897).
The
church was still extant on the 1905
map but by the 1953 map the original
church is a ruin, with the building next door (the former Sunday
School) being used as the church.
The photograph here is actually
of the Sunday School, the original church has been demolished already.
It would have been in the foreground, behind the railings. This
is why I earlier thought that the church did not have a tower
or steeple! In fact there was a steeple on the church and this is
just visible in the distance on an old
Hartington Road view.
