Methodist Church Beswick Street, Ancoats
« on: 16:58:17, 16/03/11 »
Hi there,
I was reading a page with some interest on the Have Your Say website, issue 31, about the former United Methodist Church on the corner of Beswick Street and Bradford Road. The man who wrote the article was called John Morgan. I am doing some family history research and one of the family marriages was solemnized at 'methodist church corner of Beswick Street and Bradford Road'. According to the certificate dated 1940. The minister is listed as George Firth.
I was wondering if anybody local would be able to confirm whether or not the building in the attached pictures was in fact that same methodist church mentioned on the marriage certificate. The older black and white was taken in the mid '60's and the modern one appears to show the building still standing. Does anybody remember this building as the methodist church?
The link to the above mentioned article is below.
