All Souls, Every Street, Ancoats
All Souls Church sits on
the corner of Every Street and Harding Street in
Ancoats. The church was designed by the architect
William Hayley and completed in 1840. Pevsner
describes it as "ideosyncratic Romanesque" is
style. Elsewhere I have seen it described as
"neo-Norman" perhaps reflected in the round-topped doors
and windows and the dogtooth carving above the doors.
The church became
redunadant and closed in 1981. In the years that
follows it had a number of uses including as a
carpenter's workshop.
It appears that in
recent times All Souls has been repaired and restored
prior to reopening as the Manchester Miracle
Centre. Their web site announces a "Grand Opening"
but doesn't specify a date. When I took the
photographs above, in July of 2010, there was evidence
of building work but not of an imminent re-opening.
