Ponders End: Roman Catholic Church of Mary, Mother of God
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 1 Feb 2008
Located at 192 Nags Head Road, at its junction with Alexandra Road, the church dates from 1921 but was only consecrated in 1985 http://www.rcdow.org.uk/pondersend/default.asp Local authority paving works in Alexandra Road are in progress outside. From a cartographical point of view this is a fine indication of the inaccuracies in the OS 1:50,000 scale mapping. In order to match the image to the mapping I have circled the church symbol with a co-ordinate of TQ 35700 96100. However on the five times larger scale OS mapping at 1:10,000 scale the near corner of the church is at TQ 535842 196077, in other words in the next 100 metre grid square both to the east and to the south.
