Glenda Powell Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Very sad, it was built in the 60/70s, the people of Newton Farm paid a £1 a brick for it to be built. It was used by everyone a real community asset as was the Vortex, now they have both gone for housing, thats what they call progress I don't think!!!

H.Wilson Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 This is actually quite a modern looking building for it's time. I recall a party here and outside on the grass for the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977. I had become a bit of an eye sore once it had stopped being used but still a little sad to see it go.

Glenda Powell Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I remember in 1997 when I started up the Newton Farm Community Association we held all our monthtly meetings there for the residents, also our community fun days with the police doing the cooking hot dogs, beefburgers etc. I attended church every Sunday and my last memory before it was closed was that I was confirmed there by the Bishop of Hereford who agreed to conduct the ceremony on that day because it was closing..... A lot of happy memories I will never forget.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Smith Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 It's a shame to see it go, even if it was not being used, still sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelsgood Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Sad to see - it has to be said that the Church maintain their buildings in the same way as the council do - ie they don't. The church itself within the building was a very fine space for a contemporary building, something that is very hard to do architecturally.
