Collyhurst Comb, Church of the Saviour
Bee#96 on the "Bee in the City" sculpture trail is "Collyhurst Comb" with a design that centres around the city's skyline and its radical history. It is set in front of the Church of the Saviour which was founded in 1972 when all the Church of England churches in Collyhurst and Monsall were amalgamated into a new benefice of the Church of the Saviour. The church was established on part of the site formerly occupied by St Oswald's Church on Rochdale Road. This is an evangelical Church of England church.
