Happy St Joseph`s Day!
Some pictures of St Joseph`s, Gateshead from the centenary booklet of 1959.
The pulpit: on the Epistle side. A gift of Alderman Costello. Destroyed in the re-ordering although some of the statues remain.
The doors to sacristy & confessional prove that the pulpit is on the Epistle side. Previously we had thought that the photograph had been printed in reverse
