St. Johns Church, Tong Street, "The Upper Room"
St.
John's, Tong Street, is the newest of our three congregations.
It meets in 'The Upper Room' in Vulcan Street,
Tong Street. These premises used to be the Schoolhouse to St. John's CE
Primary School, before the school moved to its new premises in Bierley
in 2001. The premises are now owned by St. John's Foundation Trustees,
who also own the school site in Dawson Lane.
Directions
To find the Upper Room from the Dudley Hill junction of the A650 and
the Bradford Ring Road, travel on the A650 out of Bradford. After
seeing Shetcliffe Lane on the right, immediately turn left into Vulcan
Street, and then right into the old school grounds. The Upper Room is
the older house on the right hand side.
For information about the story of St. John's, and the
opening of the Upper Room in 1994, see the historical section. The Upper
Room has recently enjoyed a major improvement programme to bring it up
to a high standard of comfort and decoration. |
