CLIFTONVILLE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

This is a very early photograph of this church, which was built in 1867. Originally the low building beyond it, with the steeple, had served as the church until the main building was erected. Later, during the reconstruction, the steeple was lowered and the original church rebuilt as Ventnor Hall.
At the time of this photograph, 1873, Blatchington Road was being built and beyond George Street can be seen two small private houses. Until 1870 George Street was shut in by a high wall and traces of the recent removal of this wall are clearly evident at the side of one of these houses.
