St Margarets, Hucking immediately came to mind, but the surroundings don`t seem to be quite right nor the projection on the right hand side.

Thanks Diapason,  I still can't find reference to where the organ was rebuilt and moved to.


Couple of guesses


St Edmunds School
Vernon Holme School

I thought the clues would give it away!

Got it - Canterbury Congregational in Guildhall Street.  I've never seen a photo of the interior.  Quite impressive.  I wonder why it was demolished, although the frontage still remains.


I can't find any reference to the organ though.

Knowing your location (from the previous Forum)  -  NEARER HOME.
You must have walked past the original site of this building many times, where fragments of it have been used in another, but completely different construction.
A few years ago, I researched the history of  the organ and obtained the photo from an author who lives nearby.

Here`s one especially for you John!


The interior of a building that no longer exists. The organ still exists (although now unrecognisable, having been rebuilt) in a building about a mile away.

Thanks Diapason,


In hindsight I probably should have left it a bit longer to give others a chance, sorry.




Next one - another church!

Well !! I thought it would last  longer than that  -  I think I used the same photo on the `old` forum GTP.


Over to you, John.
