Christchurch

A Memory of Wallington.

I'm not sure whether this church was called Christchurch or Christ's Church; but as I recall it was originally a Presbyterian church which merged with, the then Congregational Church in Holmwood Gardens to form the United Reformed Church. Christchurch was then closed and remained empty for many years until it was sadly demolished to make way for Sainsbury. Incidentally, seeing the old concrete lamp posts in this picture reminds me that I remember them replacing the gas lamps in the 1950's and how much brighter the streets became at night.
