A rare picture of Westbourne Methodist Church showing the front of the original building without the current group of mature Trees.
The picture is undated but prominent are the trolley bus posts and the houses at the bottom of Westmoreland Street are private homes and not shops as they were later to become. The prominent poster at the Church entrance cannot be read.
The buildings of the building business on the extreme right are now used by a garage business.
