| St Anne's, Digbeth |
|
St Anne's is a Roman Catholic church on Alcester Street,
Digbeth. It is a former gin distillery that was converted into a church by Cardinal Newman in 1849. Congregations peaked at 6,500 in the 1950's when a large Irish community lived in Digbeth; nowadays, barely 40 attend mass. The Oblates of Mary Immaculate, who took over St Anne's in 1938, left Digbeth in 2010 (News August 2010). |
