parsfan Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I was a reading a history of this Chelsea concert hall which used to be Christian Scientist Church. On conversion to a concert hall the organ was removed for installation in a church in the Midlands. Anyone know anything about this? Spec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Could you be confusing this with the organ from the 7th Church of Christ Scientist? This went to Emmanuel, Wylde Green - see http://npor.emma.cam.ac.uk/cgi-bin/Rsearch...ec_index=E00600 Every Blessing Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3-man Walker from the former 1st Church of Ch. Sc, in Sloane Terrace, now re-named the Cadogan Hall, we removed some years ago and have relocated to the Catholic Church in Gotherburg - it is to be restored by Tostared and due to be completed in 2008/9 I understand. I'll supply further information when we receive it. DW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to for the info re. the fate of the Wlker - I'll put that into my "pending" pile for NPOR and add the info in due course.
