More about this scene
You could be forgiven for not recognising this building today. This is the original church facing Beanfield Avenue and Newark Drive. In 1965 it was gutted by a disastrous fire and was rebuilt and enlarged to a futuristic design based on the Triangular Lodge at Rushton. It reopened in April 1967.
