Romford: Trinity Methodist Church

Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 27 Jul 2008

This was an attempt to re-create a Francis Frith image from exactly 100 years ago http://www.francisfrith.com/search/england/essex/romford/photos/romford_59842.htm Unfortunately trees now obstruct the original view point and the Frith photograph was probably taken from a point which is now in the middle of the Romford Ring Road... As my better half pointed out to me the major visible change in the church since the 1908 photograph was taken is the fact that the surprisingly flamboyant and slender Rapunzel-style towers on either side of the main gable end have been considerably shortened since 1908. The foundation stone of the church was laid in 1887.
