jibba, I have four photos and a newspaper cutting. One shows St. Paul`s with The Congregational Church (Paradise Chapel) in the background. The other three, very sad ones that show the church when it was being demolished. Unfortunately, I haven`t permission to post them and don`t know how to email them to you as this forum apparently does not allow attachments to PMs. HELP!!!!! as I`ve still got `L plates on my computer. When and if I can obtain permission I`ll have a go at posting them

jibba! At long last I have a photo of the interior of St. Paul`s which was demolished in the 1950s. It was never built to replace the Parish Church of Holy Trinity, but was a `Chapel of Ease` to the Parish Church. It`s possible that it was demolished due to the frequent flooding in the area from Milton Creek into which the Paper Mill deposited its effluent. It was definitely a rather dismal, damp, smoky area due to the nearby industry. Photo by courtesy of John Crunden.

I`m hoping for another at the weekend. The owner says it`s not good quality as it`s a copy. I`m keeping my fingers crossed that it`s not the same one.

Fantastic! Thanks for finding that photo! Nice to see it in its former glory, rather the derelict state it appears in later photos

Thanks for your reply, jibba! I`m now in the process of `pinpointing` the exact site of the church. Although I remember it, the area has changed beyond all recognition and it`s now very difficult to determine exactly where it stood.

I`ve marked two areas on the attachment which can`t be far out and am hoping to be more accurate by next week.
