Just drove pasts this after a day out with the wife, had a word with the builders then the owner and got the green light for
A mooch and some pics,
Location lee lane Horwich, The new Independent Methodist Church, built on Lee Lane in about 1867.
the congregation having originated some years earlier in a gathering of teetotallers. :-(
The church has had a graveyard as you can see from the old pic of the place.
The church is now undergoing a major referb, The end result will be luxury apartments.
Its good that they left the character in the place, just a shame they did not replace the clock,
They had to lower the windows a few ft so they can get three floors in but it still looks original.
Ill have a trip back in a few months to see the progress, more pics to follow :-)
