This building was originally the Newton Park (Union Church) Congregational Baptist built in 1887, on the site of a former chapel. During the early 1950s it had been a Royal Airforce Association Club. The back part of the building also served as a synagogue during the 1950s. In 1963 it became a Sikh Temple. A Gurdwara, as it is known, is taken from two nouns: "Guru" meaning God and "dwara" meaning house - Gurdwara therefore literally means House of God.

In 1938 Wm Potts & Sons Ltd Leeds installed the clock shown above. This clock had originally been installed in Wellington Station, Leeds in 1916
How bizarre that the front of this huge building is relatively intact, yet round the back it is in ruins, with overgrown vegetation and littered with needles. we even saw a fox!
