 "All Saints Episcopal Church (1917) is by Geoffry Lucas. It stands on a prominent site at the centre of the town and has small windows and a massive, square tower-base, intended for a tower which was never built."

Evelyn Simmons and dating from 1917, is a large, brick building in a Byzantine style with a pantile roof and a low, octagonal tower above the crossing.

| "The Institute was a key building for the residents and it now contains a library. With its U-plan shape and decorative brickwork,it is a fine civic building with an interesting roof profile. The stacks on this building, in common with other chimney stacks throughout the town, are a prominent feature. It had reading rooms for the workers and was a centre for recreational activities."

Dear Bogiesdey, Thanks for noticing this and bringing it to our attention. It may be that a gremlin has got in the works and mixed things up a bit. I'll investigate and get this sorted out. Best wishes, Brian Britain from Above Activity Officer (Scotland) |
