More about this scene

More tall town houses look out to sea over the sea wall. These are known locally as Albion Terrace. Decorative fairy lights have been temporarily erected on tall poles for some kind of event or celebration. The solid stone shelter on the left is now gone, and over the sea wall today it is possible to see shipping movements and the navigational structure shown in picture H32100 on page 114.

St Johns United Reformed Church

I was married at this church on 25th March 1978. My grandmother, Evelyn Sanderson also played the organ here, and at its sister church St Georges further up Park Rd. My grandfather's funeral service was also held here; George (Joe) Sanderson. It was a shame to see this church demolished for the shopping centre's car park!!!
