SX9164 : Central Church, Torquay

near to Torquay, Torbay, Great Britain

Central Church, Torquay

Built in the early 1970s for the United Reformed Church and funded from the sale of two Baptist church sites in Torquay. Pevsner and Cherry call the pierced screen wall facade "forceful but rather crude". The church is at the junction of Tor Church Road and Tor Hill Road where they form a crossroads with Abbey Road. Behind on the right is the spire of St Mary Magdalene, close to Castle Circus.
