St Augustine's Roman Catholic Church
The Grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1392331?section=official-list-entry Roman Catholic Church 1967-8, by Desmond Williams & Associates is of load-bearing dark brown brick construction with felt roofs supported on Vierendeel girders, with rear range in brick and timber cladding.
The original St Augustine's was one of the oldest Roman Catholic churches in Manchester, having been established at Granby Row in 1820. This church was sold in 1905 to make way for the Manchester Municipal Technical College, and a new church built on York Street. This church was destroyed in the Manchester Blitz of 1940. The present site previously housed a chapel of ease in a building bought from the Methodists in the 1870s. It had briefly been a separate parish, but in 1908 was amalgamated with St Augustine's parish. After the War it was the only surviving church in the parish. The new St Augustine's was built here with the help of a grant from the War Damage Commission, at a cost of £138,000, when it was clear that the original building was inadequate. The new building was opened in 1968 and consecrated in 1970.
