A subsequent deposit brought the record forward from 1969 to 2011 and the final closure of the Mission. These years covered the Mission's move to the Florence Institute in Mill Street from 1980-1986, and later re-focus on the Earle Road/Lawrence Road area, with the aim of establishing a new settlement linked to St Dunstan's church. This deposit also included a number of photographs. |
