Picture of Thorburn Square in 1963 as I remember it going to the church with the cub pack the area is now unrecognisable
The modern picture and I suppose it compliments the area
All that remains is the church

What a great square that would be today! I went to cubs there early to mid sixties. Blue sixer! I used to walk home to the flats in Longfield estate and get some sweets in the off licence on the way home

Re: Thorburn Square
The church was built 1869-7 and the hall was added in 1894.

The square has flats round all four sides; in the centre is St Anne's church, (visible on the left of the photo) South side c 2009.

I have started a thread earlier regarding my father who was vicar at St Anne’s from 1952 till 11959.
