Date:May - December 1946 (c.)
Description:The tumbled masonry and the classical columns put one in mind of scenes of 'the grandeur that was Rome' but this is St Thomas' Church in Bath Row, Lee Bank, in a photograph taken in 1946 before clearing up after wartime destruction had been completed. Only the west front of Thomas Rickman's church, built in 1826-29, survived World War II and the surroundings were landscaped soon afterwards. More recently, in the 1990s, the area seen here was landscaped all over again to form the Peace Garden, and the 1920s colonnade was moved here from the Hall of Memory gardens when Centenary Square was laid out. In the background on the right, in Granville Street, are St Thomas' Schools.
