The Golden Cross, seen from Bayley Lane, before the redevelopment of the old Baptist church site on the left. The replacement building, dating from 1991, hides the buildings on Hay Lane and most of the Cross. The Baptist church was destroyed during WWII and its basement remains were filled with water and used as a static water tank for the rest of the war. The site was then left undeveloped for several decades. Beyond the Cross the end wall of Martins Bank can be seen, it was later demolished during the development of Cathedral Lanes.
