Knottingley United Reformed Church is situated at the junction of The Croft (front) and Willows Road (side visible), Knottingley. This view taken in June 1977, is across the Aire Street redevelopment zone, an area behind the former Aire Street shopping area which comprised sub-standard nineteenth century housing in a maze of ginnels and yards. After clearance redevelopment was delayed for years. Aire View, an unimaginative and rather characterless public housing scheme, occupies the wasteland shown, and is now managed by Wakefield District Housing.
