I am sure now that Cliff Thornton is correct. I made a misjudgement based on the elevation from which this postcard photo was taken.
One Monday in late July 1957 I was not many feet lower than the cross but inside the building! Yes, it was our wedding day.
During some of the wartime years I did firewatching duties on a fortnightly rota with another teenage member of the congregation. After having some breakfast using the vestry kitchen we then went to school!
I am pleased that work has been going on in renewing Stockton Parish Church, spiritually as well as physically. The latter would be no good without the former.
The cross that appears to the right of the photo is not on a separate building. It is fixed above the gable end at the east end of the church, above the altar. It can be seen best in photo no. 3452 with the eastern extension of the church bearing the cross.

That’s Paradise Row Methodist Church just along from the Police Station.
What is the large building with the cross on top, in the right hand background?
