Hi Debbie As it happens I do know this one, straight off . The church opposite the Mayflower theatre, in Commercial Road, is .... St. Peter's Church. The parish of St Peter's was formed in 1861, from part of All Saints Parish, although the church itself had been built in 1845. Independent registers date from 1861. It became redundant I think in the 1980's, and was sold. I remember playing table-tennis there (well, in the adjacent hall) against St Peter's youth club many years ago. Cheers, Dave Jacobs PS. St Michael's is one of the ancient churches of Southampton, in fact the oldest, within the old town walls. It has Norman parts, and has a black marble font dating from about 1150. It has a tall slim spire, which is the one you can see straight ahead of you when you cross the Itchen Bridge into Southampton from Woolston. =============== At 18:07 30/11/2004, el.lsa@lineone.net wrote: >Hi Dave & List > >I'm sure someone will know the answer to this...probably Dave! > >Whilst having a business lunch last week, one of my colleagues asked the >name of the former church that is now Joe Daflo's...for those of you who >are asking where??? it's the old church opposite the Mayflower theatre >that is now a bar/restaurant. > >Just curious...money is on St Michael's :) > >Debbie > > > > > >___________________________________________________________ > >FREE weekend phone calls!
