The old hall in Stretford Road
The original building of St Ambrose was founded in 1905, with a mission hall that could accommodate 300 people and held two classrooms. However, this proved inadequate and so a newer, bigger church was built in 1912-13. The old hall still serves the community.

The west window of St Ambrose
The east window is a large and imposing feature of the church, but the east is not unworthy.

Rising above the parish of Whitehall
St Ambrose's church is a large and imposing sight, rising above St George's Park and dominating the local landscape. It is a fairly new church: in the late nineteenth century moves were made to gather some of the expanding suburban population. In 1905 a smaller hall and mission church was established (see Image]) but this became too small shortly thereafter. With funds raised a new church was established, with the foundation stone dated 1912 and the consecration taking place on November 13th, 1913.
The architects were W.V. and A.R. Gough, who chose to use a mixture of Perpendicular and Arts and Crafts styles. The tower has a grand and unusual appearance, with embattled turrets and stepped battlemented parapets; it is also unusual in that it is sited to the south-east of the south aisle. See Image
To the left of shot are the modern flats that are the St John's almshouses. The original almshouses were part of St John-on-the-Wall in the city centre, but moved to this place in 1906.
