For Stan St. Cuthbert's Church Photo from years ago.

Stan I have this photo in my Family History Files.

You may not have a copy of it.

I remember that Police box or something on that corner around 1960 on.

It's an interesting photo and the railings were removed due to WWII. However see how the building is soot ridden. It's a church that history has forgotten as there is virtually nothing in the archives....

I wonder how many church magazines are in folks' houses? I have one dated 1968. They would probably give some insight BUT Parochial Church Council (PCC) minutes taken (monthly?) over the years must be around somewhere in some church archives. Would take some time to read those even if they were tracked down. I don't believe they don't exist Stan.i don't mean I don't believe you yourself.

I see that St Cuthberts and St Oswalds have a Facebook whatever. I don't. Go on. Put your question on there Stan. Someone will tell you or try and fob you off

It's the architecture that interests me Margaret. I contacted the Diocese office and was told by Lizzie there's nothing. I have the architect and dates but that's just about all. St.Aloysius Church is also missing a lot around the 1920's. A lot of death figures have also been hushed up. When I do any church, I go to great depths such as brick making and procurement and sometimes it opens a hornet's nest. I fail to understand how St. Cuthberts is not even GrII listed....
