The Lost Churches of Adelaide – Then and Now
Scots Church, North Terrace, Adelaide

As part of the South Australian History Festival in May, we will be holding this photographic exhibition that traces the changing landscape of the city. Through paired historical images of church buildings that no longer exist and photographs of those places now, it reflects on memory, loss, and transformation, inviting viewers to see how faith, community, and place continue to shape Adelaide’s story.

Pop into Scots Church on Wednesdays in May to view the exhibition and say hello.

We thank Scots Church for their generous support in hosting us for this event.
