Notice in the lift at the New Central Methodist Church Image It reads: "Only 6 wheelchairs can be allowed in the coffee lounge at any one time due to health & safety and risk assessment."

The original Central Methodist Church was demolished in the 1970s. In 1997, as a result of Chapel Street Methodist Church leasing their premises to the North Manchester Methodist Housing Association for the building to become part of the "Foyer" scheme, the Society at Chapel Street joined with the Central Church which was re-named "New Central Methodist Church". http://newcentralmethodistchurch.weebly.com/history.html

In 1964 the former Blackpool Central Railway Station (top centre) was not the station chosen for closure by Beeching, who instead had proposed the closure of the North station. With an eye on its future development potential, Blackpool Corporation successfully lobbied British Railways for the alternative closure of Central station, which occurred on 2 Nov 1964. Today the site has been converted into several car parks, and the Coral Island amusements complex. A view by Lewis Clarke of the site in 2014: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4205951 Image
