Sacred Heart Church
A 1934 Blackpool Guide http://www.amounderness.co.uk/blackpool_guide_1934.html describes it thus:
"CHURCH OF THE SACRED HEART, Talbot Road, dedicated to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, was the first Catholic Church to be erected in Blackpool. It was erected in 1857 from a design by Edwin W. Pugin, Esq., and at the sole expense of Miss M. Tempest, sister to Sir Charles Tempest, Bart., of Broughton Hall, Yorkshire. It is in the Gothic style of architecture, and is built of stone in narrow courses of Yorkshire flag, hammer dressed and tuck pointed. The church comprises a chancel, north and south transepts, two sacristies, confessionals, nave, aisles, south porch and central western tower. The tower is of great solidity, and rises to a height of 124 feet. Almost all of the windows are filled with richly-stained glass. In 1913-14 the old part of the church was restored. In 1921 a very handsome Baptistry was built as a memorial to those members of the congregation who fell during the Great War."
In 2005 a new Baptistry was opened and the old chapel remained as a memorial to the Jesuits who served the parish and became the St Ignatius of Loyola Chapel.
