I think that would have been St Mary's church. It's still called St Mary's Street. The nearest primary school is St Peter's, just behind Agnes Stewart.Hadn't realised that the church had been there until relatively recently.

I remember reading a while ago that Mikes Carpets (another old chapel) was up for auction. I wonder what happened?

Was around this place not since,http://leva.leeds.ac.uk/support/view/fe ... .htmlShame to see it in such a state, its not technicly lost as it hasn't been torn down, but where on earth would they ever get a congregation large enough to fill it?

It was interesting to see the photos of St. Patricks Church at Burmantofts. My father originally lived on 'The Bank' and went to Mount St. Mary's where I was baptised. When we later moved to York Road and Halton whilst we went to Corpus Christie church my father always lived to go to High Mass in St. Patrick,s The photo really brought back some memories for meMike Australia

I was thinking about Christ Church on Meadow Lane this morning and wondering if it was on here, then I saw this thread. There's a partical view of it on Leodis here:http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... 61317080It was big and black and always impressed me when I passed it.
