I am saddened to hear that St George’s Presbyterian Church, cnr Linwood Avenue and Gloucester Street has been demolished because it was so damaged in the February 22, 2011, earthquake. I attended church and Sunday School there along with my two sisters and two brothers in the 1950s. The Reverend Irving Rutherford conducted my mother’s funeral service in 1983.
Unfortunately I do not have a photo of this church which was so much a part of my early life. Are you able to provide me with any photos of the church and the church hall? Thanking you. Lynne Winsloe

Thank you for sharing with us, it is indeed sad when those associations of the past are lost. We may be able to supply a photo graph but there will be a delay. Can you can you make contact directly by email so we can keep in contact? Thanks – Yvonne
