There it was gone! - Holy Trinity and St Matthew's Church

This 1960s design round church at the centre of the estate was demolished before Xmas 2014. It is seen before demolition here - Image It was built in 1965 and closed in 2012 when part of the roof collapsed. Demolition started in November 2014 and it is to be replaced by a new multi-use building to serve the congregation and the community. I used the post office just out of sight to the left on 31-12-14 and don't notice that something big was missing.
