The former Church of St Michael and All Angels (1902-04) is halfway along Ashmore Road, previously a 'military road', and it is currently being used as an on-site architect's office associated with the redevelopment of this former military academy. The whole site is being developed into a mixed complex of private, "affordable homes" and social housing. According to their promotional material the principal developers have already committed themselves to converting this particular building into an arts and culture centre providing studio space for local artists and an open space for the use of residents for exercise classes, art lessons and cultural events. Academy Road (the A205) lies at the end of this private, gravelled road and Red Lion Lane behind the photographer. Beyond the chapel is a recently completed apartment block.
