The official opening of the ill-fated West End Chapel of Loftus in September 1911. Following a landslip at the top of Loftus bank on 27th September 1927, the chapel had to be demolished owing to being unsafe. Well attended, gentlemen not only suited and booted; even top hats can be seen amidst the bowlers and straw boaters. Whilst the ladies are in floral dresses and equally well hatted! The banding in the brickwork of the chapel is of a similar style to that of the Congregational church at the end of Westfield Terrace.
