St Paul's, King Cross
The organ, built by Abbott and Smith of Leeds, dates from 1912, the same year that the present church was built. It incorporates a considerable amount of pipework from the organ in the old church, which was installed in 1884 by Henry Halmshaw, a Birmingham organbuilder of some repute.
The specification was drawn up by Sydney Nicholson, then organist of Manchester Cathedral. His brother was the architect of the church.
