Broomhill Methodist church, I remember it well (the original that is!) Sunday School, making the coffees for the adults when they finished service, sneaking teaspoons of the brown sugar yum, the old classrooms below, being the may queen and when it was struck by lightening my Gran was sat on the loo at Mum and Dads in Ashgate Road, she fell off the loo!!

Wortley Hall gardens are def worth a visit, just around the corner from me.

Anyone got a piccie of the old Church??
