The site of the demolished Christ Church on Aldwarke Road, Park Gate. SK 4386 9524. Small photos of the church are available here and here. © David Regan (2022), who has seen a reference to a building date of 1876.  

The site of the demolished Congregational Church, which stood at the junction of Stock's Lane and Bellows Road. A house and car park now stand on the site - the church had its long axis parallel to the road. It had a Sunday School to its left, and this may survive behind the adjacent shops, as seen here.
