Dover Congregational Church
c1920s
From "Annals of Dover" by Bavington Jones:
Due to consolidation of the Church, "They have built a large and handsome church at the bottom of the High Street, a few paces above the Maison Dieu. Its tower, rising to a height of eighty feet, is a striking feature, and the whole is an ornament to the town. The cost of the building was between £9,000 and £10,000. The general style is Gothic of the Lancastrian Period. When this new church was opened on the 7th September 1904, Zion Chapel, the original home of the Dover Congregationalists, was disposed of...."
Newsflash - 22nd September 2007. The building is currently ablaze... It has stood derelict for several years and was in the final stages of conversion to luxury flats. As can be seen, a large amount of damage has occured to the rear roof structure.
