Church Walk, St John's (1977)
Anonymous
Church Walk takes its
name from St Clements Church. The medieval church of St
Clement stood at the west end of Dolday, by the River,
but the parish lay on the west bank around Henwick. After
centuries of flooding, a new church was built in Henwick
Road in 1822. It is an extraordinary building in a neo-norman
style and can be seen across the site of the cottages
at the west end of Tybridge Street. The photograph was
taken in 1977 before flats and houses were built on the
site.
