Former Furnace Inn and 1st Normacot Vicarage

Demolished soon after this photograph in about 1972, this was formerly the Furnace Inn before becoming the original vicarage when the church of the Holy Evangelists was built on adjacent land in 1847. Since the 1940's this building was used for various parish activities including cubs and scouts, also a youth club and whist drives. In 1972 a Scout and Guide hall was opened on this site to complement the existing church hall. A new vicarage (to replace the 2nd one across the road which was sold) was also built on this site in 1974-75. The S & G HQ, church hall and new vicarage have all since been demolished and the whole site has been sold and redeveloped. Flats and bungalows for the elderly now occupy this site.
