When the congregation at the Grade II listed building https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1356841 on Newton Street was designed by Alfred Waterhouse and opened in 1881 Image were no longer able to afford the upkeep of the building, it was sold it to developers for conversion into apartments. The deal involved the developer building a new church on land behind the old church, with apartments above it. The new church was called The Studio and hosted a number of community services. It seems that worship no longer takes place here and the ground floor of the new church is now for sale.
