saw119 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I'm interested to know if anyone can tell me how many churches are actually in the Parish of Ecclesfield. Its a huge parish but am I right in thinking that only St Mary's and St Nicholas's were there in the early period before expansion in the 19th century?

purple Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I have always wondered what the little church/chapel is called on Halifax Rd at Wadsley Bridge is. It's near the funeral home. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centenary Methodist Chapel, Wadsley Bridge Am i correct in thinking there are or were three Churches within say roughly 300/400 yards of each other on Halifax Road ? If so could someone be kind enough to explain to me exactly where they were positioned ? 1).The above one Centenary Methodist Chapel .I have passed many times by the funeral home and had not noticed it ,so where on a map might it be? 2)There is also a little Church /Chapel on the same side of the road about 100 yards above the bridge . 3)The third one . . . now this is a real mystery to me.A family member once told me of a Church being somewhere near the junction of Halifax Road / Penistone Road.This one is a real puzzler. Any help with maps of all three Churches would be kindly appreciated, thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The map is 1920's, the row of buildings has long gone, did you not look at the Google street view link I provided? Here it is looking from another angle .. https://goo.gl/maps/j6FsdUX7BJB2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysander Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I seem to remember that during the 70/80's the disused Methodist chapel, referred to, was occupied by a steel analysis company owned by a chap called Ron Armitage who had an assistant who had played knurr and spell up Grenoside way!
