It was then demolished, the entry to Hurst Lane was widened, and the Civic Hall and Library were built in its place. It was always known as the Large Sunday school to differentiate it from other, smaller, Sunday schools.

At that time, 1945, the Macclesfield Canal was owned by the London North Eastern Railway Co. (LNER). This was because the original owners, the Manchester Sheffield & Lincoln Railway Co. (MSLR), went to the LNER at amalgamation in 1923. The MSLR had bought the canal, together with the Peak Forest and Ashton canals, in 1847.
