St. John the Evangelist, West Vale

[peter ellis]

Hi all

 

The Parish church in my home village of West Vale (just outside Halifax) closed in 1982. I was 6 at the time and the kind old organist of the church let me have a go on the instrument the week it closed. I recall it being very large but then again I was 6.

 

All I know of the instrument is that it was dismantled and I believe some of the pipework reused. I have no idea of the builder.

 

I'm in Australia now so I don't have as much access to historical records as I would like. I was wondering if anyone out there has by any slim chance a specification for the instrument or any information/pictures.

 

Thanks

 

Peter
