The spire on the left of this 1905 picture belongs
to the West End Congregational Church, built in 1874. On the right
is the Abbotshall Free Church dating from 1869 and deprived of its
spire in the 1970's when it was converted into a shop. The
two-storey eighteenth century buildings closest to this church were
replaced by a three-storey tenement with shops on the ground floor
before 1907. Those closest to the camera were replaced by a safeway
supermarket; the shop is now closed.
