Converted apartments, Blackhill
This building is the former church hall for St Aidan's Church, next door. The church is no longer in use, and the hall has been converted into apartments. Much better than demolition.

St Aidan's Church, Blackhill
On Laburnum Avenue, opposite Blackhill Park. This church is no longer in use and has been sold off. However, it appears to be deteriorating at the moment, with no sign of any work taking place. The church was completed in 1885 and the tower added in 1903. Hopefully, the building will eventually be restored.
