SteveHB Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 This isn't a Topic that I visit very often, but it's nice to see that purplejumper has been busy and kindly added an alphabetical list into the Topic. Thank you for that PJ. I haven't noticed a photograph of Loxley Methodist Chapel on Loxley Rd, so here are a couple ..

DaveH Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 This isn't a Topic that I visit very often, but it's nice to see that purplejumper has been busy and kindly added an alphabetical list into the Topic. Thank you for that PJ. I seem to be in the same situation as SteveHB with regards to this topic but that alphabetical list is great. I noticed that Arbourthorne Methodist Church, Edenhall Road, is in the list and has been mentioned by plaintalker earlier. Yes, this is no longer a church, it has been referred to as "the Phoenix Centre" and it is some kind of Arbourthorne community centre these days. However, the building is still there (more than can be said of Arbourthorne St. Pauls Church, formerly on East Bank Road) and although no longer used as a church its external archetecture immediately betrays its former role as a church so I thought a few pictures wouldn't go amiss. Arbourthorne Methodist Church, Edenhall Road, as it is today. I thought that "The Phoenix Centre" was the new ICT suite at The City School, Stradbrook Road and not this former church, which actually describes itself as "The Arbourthorne Centre" ..and those window frames around that sign still look very much as though they are part of a church.

The main entrance still carries a crucifix above the doorway and there is evidence that the chuch tower once carried either a clock or a pothole window Round the back there is a footpath that links to City Road and here there is evidence of some vandalism and some community use. The whole building appears to be made of the same "red brick" that Norfolk School, which is just at the end of Edenhall Road, is also made from. I suspect that both buildings were therefore built around the same time in the mid 1930's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHB Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hi Does anyone have a picture or any information about the Old Methodist Chapel on South Street, Park District? Thankyou for any assistance PopT Hi PopT. If I have done my home work correctly, the United Methodist Chapel stood at the top of South Street (Park) on the junction with Shrewsbury Rd. There is a photo on picturesheffield with the old Chapel in the background, looks like it had other uses at the time. Link .. picturesheffield (1904) Flash Earth The Chapel is shown on a 1954 map, but no building is listed or shown in 1965, so I presume it was demolished sometime between those dates.

Dave, thats really interesting as until I saw the photo of the back of the building, I had never realised the similarities with Norfolk School! When I used to catch the 95 bus into town I walked past this building every day, such a shame that it has been a target for vandalism. Once again, thanks for the photos - they serve as a memory jogger, even if that memory is not as sharp as it used to be he he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, thanks for the photos - they serve as a memory jogger, even if that memory is not as sharp as it used to be I think that "red brick" was a fairly common material for public buildings (schools, churches etc) that were built locally in the 1930's. I have commented elsewhere that Norfolk School and Woodthorpe School (also now gone) looked almost identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukelele lady Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Last year I saw some pictures somewhere on the net of the demolishion of the houses that were at the back of Methodist Connexion Church Scotland Street. I've search this site and the Sheffield library pictures but I can't seem to find them now.I can't remember what year these old houses were demolished at the back of the church but I know the pictures were in colour. Can anyone help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayleaf Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 St Gabriel's at Greystones was established in 1936 as a mission church of All Saints Ecclesall. It later became a daughter chuch of All saints, and eventually became a parish in its own right. As a mission/daughter church it wa administered by All saints, the curate-in-charge was appointed by and on the staff of All Saints, and although St G's had its own council, it was subordinate to the council at All Saints. St G's also had its own wardens, but they were not officially 'Bishop's officers'. So I think Steve's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maureen Morris Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 On 9/10/2007 at 16:00, purplejumper said: Here's Greenhill. Greenhill first appears on a Methodist preaching plan as a place of worship in the year 1797. The first worshippers probably used a local cottage or farmhouse for their meetings, until they built their first chapel in 1823. The date stone bearing the words “Wesleyan Chapel 1823†can still be seen in the end wall of the Old Chapel facing Greenhill Main Road. The chapel was renovated in the 1880’s and a schoolroom added at the back in 1904. The present church with its tower, just round the corner into School Lane, was built in 1937. (They celebrate the 70th birthday this month! October 07) my mum and dad were married there in 1949 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fentonvillain Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 This is the flyleaf of a Methodist Hymn Book stamped as the property of Park Wesleyan Chapel Choir and published in 1904. It was the property of my Grandfather, William Stewart, who was for over 50 years a lay preacher in the Norfolk and Brunswick circuits. He was also the secretary to the Local Preachers Mutual Aid association. He lived in Manor Lane and was a stalwart of both Victoria Methodist Church and the Cowlishaw Memorial Chapel.
