History 1970 - The Future

Chapel in 2005 Eventually, in 1970, a complete modernisation took place - an old "Prim" would now hold up his hands in amazement. Interestingly, the pine wood from the old chapel was used to fashion the Communion table and rail and the pulpit - the old into the new. Now, we have efficient central heating, long-life, low-energy light bulbs, an amplification system, padded chairs and carpet. As for "the tin hut" and the new halls, they are incorporated into our premises "over the road" above Somerfield supermarket.Yet, as ever, the church at Southdown remains "the people of God witnessing in the community".
