    Final Destruction of St Mary Magdalene Church

    The Church stood for a further 17 years and saw its final days as a children's playground. Deemed as dangerous, a controversial decision was taken in 1957 to demolish the structure. 

    No faculty for the demolition of the Church has been found.
