Eshcol Church (1949, Assemblies of God) on Burn Promenade. Another view. Notice that the date-stone below the apex says Eshcol, as does the main sign above the doors, but the green board says Eschol. Norman advises that the church was built from bricks re-cycled from air-raid shelters, and has a corrugated iron roof. Both © Norman Cummings (2015).
