Asbury Memorial Church Holyhead Road

[Vivienne14]

A sketch of the church when it still had its little spire. This is at the junction with Milestone Lane. There’s also a thread here about Bishop Asbury’s Cottage. https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/asbury-cottage-newton.48459/

Thank you for the 1943 sketch. We were married here in 1966. I expect alot of changes around the church

Dedicated to Bishop Francis Asbury who took Methodism to USA. Yes his house is still on the Newton Road near Great Barr
