All Saints is on Foyle Drive, and was seen by Streetview in 2024. TQ 5802 8144. Link. Belhus Park Chapel (Evangelical) is on Deveron Gardens, and seen by Streetview in 2024. TQ 5838 8150. Link. Community Church meets in Somers Heath Primary School on Fortin Close, distantly seen by Streetview in 2024. TQ 5819 8082. Link. Holy Cross (R.C.) is on Easington Way, and is dated by Pevsner to 1960-1. It was seen by Streetview in 2024. TQ 5839 8163. Link. The history page says that it was preceded (briefly) by a hall/church of 1953. It doesn't locate it, but it must be what is now the church hall a little east of the present church, and what it indicated as a place of worship on mid-20th century maps. It was seen by Streetview in 2024. TQ 5843 8165. A map of 1872 shows an Independent Chapel on North Road, at TQ 5949 8309. It continued in active use at least up to 1960, but has since been demolished and replaced by Chapel Court, seen by Streetview in 2024. It had evidently closed before the time of the first Streetview visit in 2009, and had been demolished by 2018. This source dates it to 1812, and says it was succeeded by a new church - Congregational, later U.R.C.- on Afton Way in 1965. Streetview has a pin for it, as Christ Church U.R.C., on Araglen Avenue, but it's just a house. Surely the U.R.C. must be the building just off Afton Drive - in fact it's on Ashdon Close - 2009 Streetview. A Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses stands on Daiglen Drive, seen by Streetview in 2024. TQ 5857 8238. The Methodist Church on West Road is dated 1847, as Wesleyan. TQ 5927 8294. © Jack Nicholson.
