St Mary Magdalene is behind the houses on the immediate right. I was married there in 1971. |

Just shows how long I've been away from Coventry. I was at my aunt's wedding in 1947 at Hearsall Baptist Church. Now I see Queensland Avenue I remember the name.

Yet again articles and photos that bring back memories, this time the photo of the original Hearsall Baptist Church. I recall when attending Hearsall Junior School in Kingston Road, the church was used as an overflow and I remember having lessons in rooms on the top floor. Always a favourite of mine, on the way home (circa mid 50's) I would pop into the Kudos on Hearsall Lane (see Shops of Yore) for pennyworth of sweets, wonderful memories.
Also there was a Woodlands RE teacher, Mr Rollason who I believe was the minister at the Baptist Church. He was a gentleman of the 'old school' who treated all with respect, one of the few who did at that school.
Once again thanks Midland Red for the memories |

I was baptised / took first communion and married there - as well as my parents married there too and where most of our family occasions (and funerals?!) are. It's lovely inside. |
