This community centre stands on the site of the former St Enoch's Presbyterian Church which was destroyed in an arson attack in the 1985. St Enoch's had been built for the 19thC evangelist Rev Dr Hugh Hanna, better known as "Roaring Hanna" a firebrand preacher who incited inter-communal rioting in the area. A statue of Hanna was also erected on the traffic island in front of the church where the modern gondola sculpture now stands (on the extreme left of the photo) but was blown up by republicans in 1970.
