The topic of the Congregational "Hut" has cropped up several times on this list. I do remember the Unitarian Chapel built opposite the Benchill Hotel. As a budding musician I was member of a local band called Paul Fender and the Teenbeats and a lifelong musical career was launched for the singer, local boy Paul Young. Sadly Paul is no longer with us but I wonder what happened to the other boys?
Returning to the Congregational "Hut", the only one I remember was further south on the opposite side to St Lukes.

Hi the images you quote are of the Unitarian church (reatively new in 1960)oposite the Benchill Hotel.  I remember the Unitarian building as a youthfull drummer with a band called Paul Fenda and the Teenbeats, we started our career there.
However the Hut on Brownley Road was the Congregational, it was on the oposite side of Brownley Road to St Lukes but further north oposite the entrance to Stancliffe Road. This is where Jesus wanted me for a sunbeam in the early 1950's!!!
Again I am sure you will find an image of it in Wythenshawe Looking Back.

Hi, the only Corrigan I remember at St Pauls 1958 to 1962 was the headmaster Mr Corrigan (we called him Sam...I dont know why).    Yes the teacher was Mr Mc Donald

I beleive the church hut was the Conregational (the Conga as we used to call it) Although I was RC I was sent to Sunday school here (1952?) and used to sing "you in your small corner and me in mine" and Jesus wants me foor a sunbeam" (Some sunbeam I turned out to be!)

I remember seeing a picture of the church hut in a book called Wythenshawe looking back? by Sheila Clarke and a co author. If this is of interest I will try and locate more details

Hi Mike I found the last school photograph of our class taken at St Paul's about 1960?
I have several earlier (and better quality) but this is the only one with * on and * whom I think you mentioned earlier. I remembered the name of * friend in Stretford, it was *.
Hope the photo comes through OK.
regards Chris Bowden
( did I really look that weedy back in 1960?)

Hi Mike, thanks for the quick reply. I did not know * had a brother also at St Pauls. You spend years at school with people and know so very little about them. I have a vague recollection that I did meet up with * some years after leaving school. There was a party at a friends house somewhere in Stretford. I am trying to dig out an old school photograph I think I still have. If I find it I will post on this site. Please send my reguards to *.

Hi Mike, I am sure * must be your sister?
I was in the same class as her at St Pauls school, Firbank Road 1958 to 1962.
