Prison tower / St. Barbara's Church, Stonecutter's Island [????- ]

Submitted by David on Thu, 2015-04-30 18:14

I think I've got the right location, based on the GeoInfo map, but let me know if it needs moving.

It's the last remnant of the short-lived prison that was built on Stonecutters Island in the 19th Century.

At some later date it became the Garrison church. I wonder what it is used for now?

The church website says:

The Chapel itself was built after the war. The Foundation Stone was laid by Bishop R.O Hall on 10th December 1949 and the Chapel was consecrated on 4th March 1950. During the consecration, Bishop Hall dedicated the Chapel to those who died in the war and those who suffered here during the internment. We remember them on Remembrance Sunday in November every year.

Henry Ching remembers going to school here in 1939:

Wrt brianwindsoredgar’s post on the American missionary Charles Winter and the references therein to the schools run by the Seventh Day Adventist, the SDA also ran a small school in their Church in Ventris Road, Happy Valley.  I was a “pupil” there, beginning I think in 1939 when I was six years old and until December 1941.
