St. Columba (Parish of St. Mary) Church - Bradford, UK - Roman Catholic Churches on Waymarking.com

"In the 1920s the Bierley estate was developed on the southeastern outskirts of Bradford, and a Catholic school was built to designs by Empsall, Clarkson & Clarke, opening in 1929. The Assembly Hall was used for Mass. In 1940 St Columba’s was established as a parish separate from St Anne’s but it was not until the 1950s that a site for the building of a church and presbytery was found on Tong Street. Building began in 1958 and the church was formally opened on 3 October 1959. The church was reordered circa 1990, by Peter Langtry-Langton." link

The above website also states that the church is "An architecturally unexceptional 1950s church and example of the work of the fairly prolific Catholic church architect, Jack Langtry-Langton, but not one of his more interesting churches."

Next door to the church is a Catholic Primary School.
