Re: New Jerusalem Church Abbey St.

My thanks to everyone for all this help. Susie and Margaret, thank you for your links. I could spend hours looking at these old photographs, and Atarah, thank you for posting the photos. Bob, I'll send you a PM about the Grammar School.

New Jerusalem was a very large church, or so it seemed to me, and it was lovely inside. I'm sorry it's demolished, but I suppose the congregation had dwindled and couldn't support a church of that size. I didn't know about the dry rot.

When I went there, Mr. Hill, Rev. G.T. Hill, was the minister, and I have faint memories of a Mr. Edge before him. Retlaw, you might put me right, if I'm mistaken. Susie, was the Central Prep. School in the same Hargreaves St. Building as the Sunday School? Two of my neighbours attended, twins, Leo and Frances Warren, but they may have been there before you. They lived on Sandy Lane.
