This appeared whilst I was away and I've only just spotted it. I agree what a fantastic tower that was.

The church was probably demolished due to lack of congregation (no pun intended) or maybe when the Congregational Church amalgamated with something else to form The United Reformed Church? I know the one in Whalley Road used to be called Congregational and is now URC I think.

Would it have suffered the same fate today? (demolition) More than likely. It's a great shame. We have lost some of the finest architecture.
