Pennington Christ Church, at the corner of Schofield Street and St Helens Road, was built in the mid nineteenth century during a period when the site to the south of the canal was a rapidly growing area. Constructed of Yorkshire stone, it was consecrated in 1854. It is a Grade II listed building. This is the view from St Helens Road.
