From John Burns:-
"Lack of foresight was the case when
building St Finbars church in 1961-63. It was built as the
population started to decline even further - this could have easily
been assessed by consulting the planning dept, and it was clear
many of the older terraced houses would have been demolished"
The
church and school do not appear on the 1905 map but St Finbar was adjacent to the 'Sixie' pub (The
Mount) on Dingle Mount. It was
situated in front of the undeveloped land on the 1905 map.
This was
later built upon with the school (St. Finbars). Dingle Terrace ran
between the school and the back of the church.
St Finbar was Apparently made redundant on the latest round
of closures announced in 2001. I am told that the church was demolished
in 2003.
