United Reform Church, corner Hamstead and Newton Roads, Great Barr

This is very sad...

The church was up for sale for £400,000 in 2023 and this was reported in the Express and Star earlier this year..

The old Newton Road United Reformed Church in Great Barr would be cleaned up and converted into a new Kung Fu Shaolin Mantis martial arts gym and new offices and flats under a proposal by GIS Investments.
The 100-year-old church closed in 2017 and has remained empty since. It has been the subject of vandalism, drug use and anti-social behaviour.
