Between the years 1929 to 1930 on the corner of Shroffold Road and Downham Way the Methodists built a Church, Halls and Manse. The church closed as such in 1974, and the Greater London Council (who had originally developed the area) exercised its pre-emptive right to re-purchase the whole site and did so at an agreed price of £17,200. The former church and adjacent halls now form a community centre. [for a detailed history see: http://www.downhamcomcentre.org.uk/about2.html ]
