Godfrey Jones's pictures of the demolition of the old St Mary's church in 1978
Photo: Rev David Long

A view from the south, showing only the central crossing still standing. Vehicles and a crane from the HGV scrapyard on the old Wagon Works site east of the church are to the far right. The Old Hall Inn is to the left of the church, with two railway cottages, one of which is still standing, left of that. To the right of the church, in the distant haze, St Catharine's church and spire can be made out.
