I assume the reason for closure is either declining congregation or the building itself requiring major rectification work (or possibly a combination of the former not being able to afford the later, as per the Sacred Heart)

At least though, the external structure will be preserved, and possibly some of the interior, should it be rdeveloped into flats. My only question is "is there a market for this style of loft conversion in Accy"...these flats would be quite big, the development costs would be massive and I would suppose that ongoing annual service charges would'nt leave much change from a couple of thousand for their residents. Still, it's nice a last to see a little bit of imagination being used, other than the usual Accy tale of "demolish & level"

Speaking of which, is anything happening on the site of the Sacred Heart? It was a rubble site 3 weeks ago...'out new?
