"The Baptist Church Woodborough Road, St. Ann's, was built by Watson Fothergill in 1893. At that time it was in the heart of a densely packed residential part of the city. The unusual octagonal tower, topped with a small saddle back roof and 'bed-end' finials was designed to be seen above the rows of terraced houses and shops. The church had a Sunday school with a separate entrance. Carved stones commemorate those who founded the church. The building is a lucky survivor of the wholesale demolition that accompanied the St. Ann's redevelopment scheme in the 1970s. The building is now used as a Mosque and Pakistani Community Centre."
