Comments
This former Alford Uniting Church has closed, and the property has been sold (2017). The church had been part of the Uniting Church of Synod of South Australia. A church building, originally for the Primitive Methodist's, has existed on this site since 1883. In 1953 the congregation from Tickera Methodist Church amalgamated with Alford. (See separate entry - 5555).
The third photograph is of the old church building at Alford.. It was demolished and the present one built on the site in the 1960s. The church worship services were held in the (pictured at rear) Sunday School hall while the new building was erected. The congregation had outgrown the old chuch building. No other details are known about the former church. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs upladed 7/5/2017.
