That is very similar in many ways!

I found a report on the conservation of the building, but there is no indication that it ever suffered fire damage.

There is a picture postcard of it included from 1909 soon after it was built.  The end window has always been like that as far as I can see.

You can look around the outside of it on Streetview.  There is a tower at one end still.

I can't find the architect's name, but it makes me wonder if there isn't another out there of similar size and design.

It has a look of the old photo.On another site it says it was built on 'Admiralty Pattern Churches'.

Now this one is looking much better from a different angle  :) :)  :)

Take a look a St. Andrews Alexander Park before it was bombed:

Disappointed that postcard has sold..cos I would have bought it.

I'm confused, does the church still exist?
