Thomas Henshaw Court

[over the hill]

Can anyone assist me - I know that where Thomas Henshaw court is built on the Corner of Norwood Road and Peel Street that there was a church there at some point possibly around 36 years ago (I went to a christening there). I cannot remember what it was called or find any pictures etc on the internet. Also when was Thomas Henshaw Court built

Many thanks

I knew I'd seen a thread & pics of All Souls when it closed in 2006. Here's a pic of the inside, and a link to the thread.

Thank you so much for the information, but wasn't it the "new" church that closed in 2006?

I was trying to ascertain how long Thomas Henshaws has been open on that site

I would say mid to late 90's, we did the music for them on a float for Southport Carnival and I sold that gear in 99 so would be before then.

Henshaws was there well before 2006 it was there in the mid to late 90's. Perhaps if someone lives nearby there will be a plaque inside saying who opened it and the date.

I was going to Meols Cop girls school when it was demolished. I am now 66 years old.

They must have built another one, I was confirmed in that church in 1982 !

Initially I think a chapel was built there, Blowick Wesleyan School-Chapel, Norwood Road on the 27th Nov 1865.

All Souls moved a few hundered yards down Norwood Road to the old Norwood Road junior school hall. My guess the original church was demolished late 80''s and the plot was vacant for several years.

My brother was christened there in 1965, I sang in Meols Cop school choir and had a Carol service there in 82/83.

I knew it had to be after 1982 as my friends daughter was christened there in that year.
Many thanks to all who have replied and given me answers very grateful

According to Wiki, Thomas Henshaw Home for the Blind was built in Southport in the early 90's, but doesn't give the exact date. I moved to Kew in 1994 and it was definitely there then, so I'm guessing it opened in 1992 - 93.
