Back in Bury (Lancashire): Passing St. Joseph's Church

After my week in Cornwall and day in Shrewsbury, I spent a couple of days in my hometown of Bury (Lancashire) again:

 Passing Kay Gardens in the town centre:

 

Bury was once a massive paper-making place, of course, but now it's more of a post-industrial wasteland.

Moving away from the town centre, I found myself at Moorgate, a once thriving part of the town, but still, I found an interesting-looking mural next to a new, shuttered bar:

 

Not far away, on Peter Street, I passed St. Joseph's Catholic church which I attended back in the 1970s when there'd been 3-4 Masses each Sunday:

 Now, there is only one Mass every Sunday, really hope the church survives:

 

When I'd attended 6.30pm Mass at St. Joseph's back in the 1970s, it'd been a kind of charismatic guitar and tambourine service in the early post-Vatican II era (the Catholic Church committed spiritual/cultural suicide by sidelining the Old Latin/Tridentine Mass, in my view).
