1930s-Gray-organ-front-in-west-gallery 1930s view of old west gallery and main entrance below. Later than 1912 when the organ console was removed.

It is apparent that some of the decorative work on the ceiling has fallen away, suggesting that the roof and flashings may have been in a poor state of repair. Part of collection of photos, lantern slides and negatives belonging to Harold B Brownrigg.
