A marvellous conversion took place this autumn. A building which was a pub has been transformed into a Christian Community Centre.
Abandoned, derelict and for sale, in March 2000 'The Plume of Feathers', a well-known pub in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, was at the point of structural collapse.
It is three doors away from West Street Baptist Church & Christian Centre but, significantly, is also adjacent to its land from the rear of the pub. With the arrival of their new pastor, Mark Lawrence, in 2000, the church began to make serious enquiries with the brewery owners.
