There's a St Lukes website (of course!) <A HREF="http://www.woywoyanglican.org/history.htm" REL="nofollow">here</A> that mentions that the new St Lukes opened in 1975, which is about a decade later than I remember. Oh well. And check out the St Lukes slogan <A HREF="http://www.woywoyanglican.org/church.htm" REL="nofollow">here</A>:<BR/>'If you love to eat, this is the Parish for you!'. Right ho!

CofE church further down (up) Blackwall Road (built in the early-mid 1960's) was also named St Lukes (and the old church was left to become a sad and unconvincing series of coffee shops or whatever...).Jimmy Littlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00700283384274714344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15959453.post-31816035091811622052008-09-08T18:03:00.000+10:002008-09-08T18:03:00.000+10:00St David's is just past the primary school, the bl...St David's is just past the primary school, the blue school, on the same side of the road. But I've got a feeling it was St Luke's for a while.
