St Mary's Roman Catholic Church stood in the centre of Ashton-Under-Lyne, to the east of Manchester. The church was demolished in 2003.

One of many churches all over the Manchester area that have been demolished due to falling congregations and changing urban patterns. Though the bricks and mortar have gone, the building remains in peoples' memories. This image has been requested by two people with connections to the St Mary's.
