yes, my house is now sat on the site where it used to be. Intresting looking at that picture. The only remains are the wire / concrete fence on the right hand side, and the kerbstones at the top of the carpark.

Hello Teddie. Yes it was burnt down in January 1995 (I still see the lad that was convicted of it knocking about - in between subsequent prison sentances ).

For a couple of years afterwards, a mobile library used to park up outside, until the current building (opposite the entrance to Knowle Top Chapel) was built.
