Old Largs Photos and Postcards Quiz
Question 27 Answer
The Clark Memorial Church tower is the highest at 160 feet.St Columba's is just short at 150 feet. The funds to build Clark Memorial was donated by John Clark who lived at the Curling Hall mansion at Broomfeilds. This building would later become part of the Marine and Curling Hall Hotel. He was the senior partner of the Anchor Thread Mills in Paisley and former provost of Largs. Work began in 1889 and cost £30,000. The site chosen was directly adjacent to the St Johns Free Church. That congregation offered no objection. It is built of red sandstone from Locharbriggs and Corsehill in Early English Gothic style. The church is a category A listed building.
