Park Church for Stan

Posted by Norman on 25/6/2025, 4:05 pm

I took this photo with my phone this afternoon as I'd just mentioned Park Church to Stan Wears last night when he rang from Liverpool.
I described how it is still standing 8 yrs after it caught fire.
It was a Unitel Methodist Church & it opened in 1885.

Thank you Norman for taking the time to take the photo. The church was designed by architect William Hill and built around 1885. Typical Victorian Gothic Revival. Although there is no mention of the actual builder, I will guess at Mc Glinshy, of Jarrow. There were plans to pull it down but an 800 strong petition stopped it around 2016.
