Me playing the organ at Claremount Methodist Church in Wallasey, Wirral.
I am not sure of the history of this organ. The National Pipe Organ Register states that it was rebuilt in 1931 by Rushworth and Dreaper of Liverpool. This suggests it was a rebuild of an earlier instrument. The specification reads:

I am playing the hymn "Come, let us join our cheerful songs" to the tune 'Nativity' from the Methodist hymnal 'Hymns and Psalms'.
Many thanks to the church officials for allowing me access to this superb instrument.
