I wondered if anyone could tell me where this is/was?

I am looking for the Chapel that would have been in existence in 1871.

I am wondering if it was the one that was demolished/replaced on Whalley Road - but I could very well be wrong.

Any information/link to picture would be interesting.
 
No - 'cause my guess at Whalley Road is just that.

I just assumed there couldn't have been that many Primitive Methodist Chapels in Accrington.

But perhaps I should know better - in our village there were three Methodist Chapels (only one Prim though).
 
memory aint that good mrsb but i think it was the one on Whalley Rd were the vets is now, was at the top of the pleck,ollets butcher was across the street on the corner.:) someone will correct if that aint right,i'm near sure.

And there was me thinking there'd be one or two 150 year old Lancastrians on here, still going strong.

Don,t know a Kathleen Cash but I knew Dorothy but lost touch when we moved. I see Walt when we,re over, he lives up Stanhill.
 
I remember being connected with the Whalley Road Methodist Youth Club and Amateur dramatic society back in the late'50s early 60's and both were well-attended.

our paths musta crossed then, i went yon wi david whitely from the sweet shop on whalley rd.:)
 
I remember David Whiteley, tall, good-looking lad, think we were in one or two plays together, but 40 odd years is stretching my memory!
 
Well I've certainly learnt more than I bargained for in starting this thread ......... :D

And there was me thinking that it was a pretty boring question.

I'll have to start thinking about what question to ask next ........... and what I might find out as a result!

hey always remember,whats boring to some,is interesting to others, ask whatever Mrs B, plenty on here will try n help.:)
 
When Union St methodis Chapel was closed down in the late 50s/early 60s, the congregation, or a lot of them, moved to Whalley Rd. By this time the various divisions within the Methodist Church, such as Wesleyans, Primitives, must have unified.
I recall the name of Jimmy Ollet. He lived in Castle St I think. Went to St John's School.will be 70yrs now. A big fat lad.
 
Not sure about this Bob but I remember Jimmy Ollett, if it,s the same person I,m thinking about didn,t he work at the gas board showrooms on St James St? I THINK I remember his obit quite a few years back, BUT I could be wrong.
 
Forget the previous one Bob, memory returned. I did know Jimmy Ollett but it wasn,t him who worked at the gas board or his obit. Sorry about that, also to Jimmy if you see this.
