Summary

[General description] Part of the foundations for the Reverend Paul Joseph's proposed City Temple, commenced in 1916, can be seen behind the tall fence surrounding the site. Due to failure of the project the site was left derelict for many years and was purchased by the Christian Scientists in 1939. It was not until 1954 that they were able to raise the funds to build a new, less expensive church on the site.
