St Aloysius

Glad to hear that St Aloysius is still standing as I remember being in the choir and singing all the mass in Latin. A sad loss now in church.

Good news Bill! It's GR II listed so it cannot be pulled down. Built 1888, designed by 26 Yr old Chales Walker of Newcastle and built by Thomas Lumsden of Jarrow. That gable end window has been replaced but unfortunately put in cockeyed! I've been in there, measured it up and done it's history. It's here to stay!

Don't know why it stood in Bell Street as it never had a bell tower. The building cost hit £5000 so it was missed off! The one in the garden was a gift from a local company...
