johnm Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Purplejumper has purposely omitted all Wesleyan Reform churches from his listing of Methodist churches in Sheffield on here. So here is a list of WR churches I have put together with data from WRU website & the Sheffield Independant 1881 Religious Census of Sheffield. I have very little data on dates churches opened so if anyone can add anything on dates or inaccuracies please do so. For those who don't know the history of how Methodism evolved I have attached a short account of key dates inc formation of Wesleyan reformers in 1849EVOLUTION OF METHODISM.doc The Wesleyan Reform Union published a Centenary book "One is Your Master" - this can be seen at http://www.thewru.com/info/page1.htm but beware its a 24 Mb download! Wesleyan Reform churches : Ebenezer, Bramall Lane Watery Street Coal Aston, Cross Lane Greenhead, Greenhead Lane, Chapeltown Grimesthorpe, Upwell Lane ( 1851 – present) Hampden View, Greaves St Mayfield, Fulwood ( 1895 – present) Oughtibridge, Church Street Owlerton, Borough Rd Phildelphia, Upperthorpe Rd Richmond, Richmond Rd Sharrow Vale, Sharrow Vale Rd St Mary’s, Hereford St Woodseats, Marshall Rd Bodmin St, Attercliffe ( 1890- ?) Weston St, (1861 - ?) Gower St Mount Gerizem, Duke St (1861 -?) Ebenezer, Ellesmere Rd, Carbrook Mount Olivet Darnall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest johnmh Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Do you remember the whitsuntide boys brigade marches from various Wesleyan reform chapels mine was near the Upwell Street end of wincobank lane grimesthorpe we would march upto firth park, I was a rather poor bugler don't think I ever made much noise out of it drowned out by the others this would be around 1958 -1959 we moved from Bank Side Farm at the end Sanderson street Brightside. I went to Owler Lane High School the Headteacher was named Hall, I recall an incident in the assembly there one day when a teacher Miss Maynard slapped him across the face! My grandad and dad ran a pig farm at Brightside and a mobile hardware shop in a converted old Bedford coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in from being 8 in 1952 & stayed in as boy then officer until 1974 when I went to help dave Bennett at Creswick Greave & moved to Middlesbrough area in 1976. Here are a few photos of Whit parades. I have a number of other BB photos too as well as one of St Thomas' BB. Let me know if you want to see them. I went to Grimesthorpe Junior school but then Hinde House Secondary. John Moore '> '> '> '> '> '> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
