Base Camp Cafe
St Benedict's church, a fine and lofty Victorian structure, Grade II listed, closed as a place of religious worship in the early 21st century and has now been given a new lease of life as the Manchester Climbing Centre. Among its ecclesiastical treasures are two windows (not shown here) by the Arts & Crafts Stained Glass artist, Margaret Edith Rope.
In this view, an elevated platform below the east window is occupied by a cafe and a climbing equipment shop. The climbing walls occupy the centre of the nave.
A note on a Geograph discussion thread informs us that Myra Hindley attended this church.

St Benedict's from Bennett Street
St Benedict's Church was built in 1880 to a design by J S Crowther. The massive and imposing Grade II* listed building http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101207939-anglican-church-of-st-benedict-ardwick-ward with a church that had an attached school house and presbytery, it benefited from the support of a sole benefactor, the local wealthy merchant, John Marsland Bennett. It closed in 2002 and became an "at risk" building.
It was saved by climber, John Dunne, who after much hard work and a £70,000 grant from English Heritage opened the Manchester Climbing Centre http://www.climbingcentregroup.com/centres/manchester/ on Saturday 26th February 2005 having replaced pews with synthetic rock faces and placing a cave where once the altar stood.
