The church was next to the Pheasant grounds and not on Carbrook street , there was not a church on carbrook street. The other one was in the the Shirts box factory on Bright street / Carbrook Street which was used for selling packing cases.

As a kid I lived very close to Shirts box factory and after everyone had gone home we climbed over the wall and messed around in the yard where millions (well it seemed like millions to us) of creates were stored.

 

It made a fantastic play ground where many a boyhood war game was acted out. I'd like to take this chance to apologise to the people who owned or worked there because I remember that we must have made a hell of a mess occassionally.

Jane, I was Christened at St. Bartholomews in 66 and my parents were married there.

 

I haven't got a photo here at home with me, but give me a couple of days as I know where I can get one to make a copy for you.
