Thanks Kimpri1

The church of the Holy Trinity, situated in Price-street, is somewhat remarkable, as regards design and architectural ornament; it is in the Norman style, but considerably modified, is built of stone, is 102 feet in extreme length, 56 feet in breadth, and will accommodate 1000 persons. The principal entrance is by a deep, recessed, ornamented doorway, having two windows above supported on small arches, grotesque heads being introduced at the various points of contact; the tower rises to the height of 88 feet, and is highly embellished with mouldings and pierced work. The living is in the patronage of H. Williams, Esq. St. John's church is of new red sandstone, and was built at the expense of J. S. Jackson, Esq., Joseph Mallaby, Esq., and others; it stands in Grange-lane road, and presents one of the most perfect specimens of the early English style in the neighbourhood, is of very imposing appearance, and of large dimensions. In the chancel are stained-glass windows representing St. John, St. Paul, and St. Peter, and in the north and south aisles are others, with various arms. The living is in the patronage of Trustees.

Holy Trinity in the early 60s...

WOW, Fantastic! Marty99 truly amazing, thank you so much for posting the photos. Are they from a book or are they personal shots? And are there any more maybe of that Organ visible in one of the shots?

Many Thanks.

Three of the shots are from old glass slides, the rest are from negs I had access to many years ago. Unfortunately there's only the one shot of the interior.

Thanks anyway, Have you still got access to the slides now or do you know were they are? Can you post any more on here? I would be interested in viewing the rest with you if you haven't got the time to post them?

My in-laws were married there in 1947.
Thankyou for posting them,I will show them to Mum.

Vauxhall Cresta estate? Triumph 'Mayflower' Austin/Morris 'Something'?

Vauxhall Victor estate, perhaps? Definitely a Mayflower! No idea on the other one!

I think its a Victor Estate as well, it had some funny roundings on the edges, the Cresta was very sharp lines. Strangely I can't remember Mayflowers. The other car looks a bit Wolsley-ish or some other BMC variant - which would be the norm for the era.

Yes, could be a Victor VX4/90...
