Rear of St John?s Church Hall, Tachbrook Street, Leamington
Transformed into a polling station for local elections on 2 May 2019. It has been the church hall since 1957. It took the place of the Wise Hall, the parish function room, that was a school for a while. Thanks to Father Stephen for this information.
The Wise family were one of the four main landowners in Leamington in the early nineteenth century. They had connections to St John's. Mrs Matthew Wise gave money towards the building of the church around 1875. Her son, the Reverend W G Wise, became parish priest in 1882. Image

Church of St John the Baptist, Tachbrook Street, Leamington Spa
Begun in 1877 and completed in 1888, St John's is said to be the finest work of local architect John Cundall. Characteristically, he has placed the tower to the side of the nave so that it forms a powerful focal point in the long view from the top of the street (to the right of the camera). The spire is a landmark for miles around.

A pond which used to form part of the grounds of the Royal Midland Counties Hospital in Leamington Spa. The hospital was demolished some years ago and new houses built over the site. The pond survived and was full of frogs when the pic was taken.
