St Paul the Apostle, Catholic Church, Station Road, Wood Green c1905

A temporary iron church was established on Station in Wood Green in 1884, just to the west of the junction with Mayes Road. That building is still visible on the right of this picture. St. Paul's Roman Catholic school opened in the same year using the temporary church building. A one-storey brick schoolhouse was built behind the church building in 1885.

The Romanesque style church pictured above was opened in 1904, built to designs by ecclesiastical architect Edward Goldie.

This building was replaced in 1970-71 by a new hall and a large new church, designed by John Rochford and Partner of Sheffield, along with a new presbytery and school, all forming a single complex.
