Guest tsavo Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 St Mary's on what I think is the junction of Bramhall Lane and St Mary's Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 St Mary's on what I think is the junction of Bramhall Lane and St Mary's Gate. Hi tsavo, sorry It's not St May's, this church stood across the road from what i believe was Lavers Showroom and the PWD buildings, next to The Sheaf House pub. Steve.

Guest tsavo Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Sorry Steve, misread the location. (hangs head, stands in corner and sulks!) :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Sorry Steve, misread the location. (hangs head, stands in corner and sulks!) That's OK tsavo, could it be Ebenezer Chapel, Bramall Lane (Wesleyan Reform) and would 'this being a Capel' be marked and named as a Church on the maps?

SteveHB Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Using the map and Kelly's -Ebenezer Wesleyan Reform Church Bramall Lane Thank you neddy, looking at the Sh maps it will fit on as ' Wesleyan Church' can see the 'w' bit so would that be right or should I add Ebenezer, making it 'Ebenezer Wesleyan Church? Edit, now 'Wesleyan Church' as it fits (map 23), thanks again for your help neddy. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boston Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I remember this church was still standing up to about 1977ish, as we caught our school bus opposite, with the Rev P Asquith on the notice board who also happened to be one of the RE Teachers at Newfield School. All of that side of Bramall Lane was demolished (except for the Railway and Cricketers) to make way for a dual carridgeway which never materialised (along with the Heeley by-pass) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lady owner lived either on the premises or very nearby, I remember her having to move out and she came to live up near Heeley Green.

Guest boris Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Boris Barker here. My family were the caretakers here from 1976 to 1979, when we had to move out as it was being knocked down as part of the redevelopment. We lived in the house on the right: rent free but no central heating, no bathroom. We had an outside toilet (whitewashed walls) and we had to drag the tin bath in to the kitchen every week in front of the coal fire and bath Dad first, then Mom, older sister, me, then two younger sisters. No visitors allowed at this time. Ah Saturday's we had to clean the front area in front of the chapel of all the pigeon-crap (I was into skateboarding and so helped as it meant I could skate there.
