Hello Dave/Pancho
Fascinating info, thanks ever so much. I am pushed for time as ever recently ::) I'm off to Mum's for a week in a few hours, NO internet ??? What am I going to do ::)

My e mail is mjahurley (all one word lower case) AT yahoo co uk with the usual @ and dots in between.

Dave, I'm intrigued by the picture, would love to see more. Gorton has some fascinating architectural secrets. I can see another possible one in your picture. It is a seven bay church, look at the highest windows, 7 bays each with 3 windows with the exception of the last on the right only 2 windows ??? I guarantee that will mean something.

Can anyone confirm the church's alignment it should be east/west but is it north/south?

Hope to log on from a library in next few days,

Cheers
T

The front of the church faces South.
So what does it all mean?

school football team I must look them out
I was born in the St Francis Nursing home (Merryland St Govan)my mum says it was the birthplace
of most babies from st Francis parish.

A report in the local paper says that the catholic church authorities are going to buy back St Francis' because the other local church was badly damaged by fire
