At the corner of Vernon Road and Howgate Road. A foundation stone is dated 1901: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4240392 I notice that in older OS mappings the church is represented by a simple cross. The octagonal tower (vaguely Greek-looking) with its curious roof - shaped like the trumpet on an early gramophone - apparently didn't qualify it for either the 'church with tower' or 'church with spire' symbols that were the convention until recently.
