Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses on Ashgrove Avenue. Howard Richter's analysis of old maps show that Belle Vue Congregational Church (built between the wars) stood on this site. He strongly suspects that some of the fabric of this earlier building is included in the present church. Can you confirm? Marriage registers for the old church (Congregational/U.R.C.) exist between 1924 and 1984, so the Witnesses must have moved in after the latter date. NZ 507 312. © Martin Richter (2011).
