St Barnabas CoE Church, Rushett Rd. The church with a high profile green coloured copper roof, visable from far beyond the congregation it serves.
Replacing little more than a large tin hut acting as a place of worship located on the same site, the current day church was built during the early part of the 1960's. When virtually completed, the church was consecrated/blessed in the later part of 1964.
I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to Andy Fordham, who uploaded the video to YouTube. Should the video not play, simply go to YouTube and perform a search for 'St Barnabas St Pauls Cray' whereon the video mentioned will be at the front of the search result and playable.

This image actually only shows a very small portion of the Poverest estate. The majority of the area captured in this frame is of St Pauls Cray. |
