I haven't done many Churches in my two years of exploring so was nice to come across this one, after seeing it online I decided to pin it and have a look for myself, I wasn't disappointed.
Mostly all stripped, however the main hall has a gorgeous ceiling and pillars.
Both the exterior and interior of this building is beautiful.
Top floor was rather dangerous after years of decay, the floors have give way and wasn't really worth the risk of walking on.
The Church did suffer a fire, however the back part of the building is now demolished.
History on the place.
Congregational Baptist built in 1887, on the site of a former chapel. During the early 1950s it had been a Royal Airforce Association Club. The back part of the building also served as a synagogue during the 1950s. In 1963 it became a Sikh Temple. A Gurdwara, as it is known, is taken from two nouns: "Guru" meaning God and "dwara" meaning house - Gurdwara therefore literally means House of God.
In 1938 Wm Potts & Sons Ltd Leeds installed the clock shown above. This clock had originally been installed in Wellington Station, Leeds in the year of 1916.
Thanks for looking.
