hi
does anyone remember the congregational church,browley rd,wythenshawe. It was a old hut I believe .If anyone has any info,photos etc I would love to hear from you  ;)
Mayday

I remember the church that was an old wooden hut on Brownley Rd, Benchill. I lived two doors away from it at 183 Brownley Rd. I was in the cubs there, it was pulled down in the mid to late 1950's and a new Unitarian Church built on the site. The cubs and scouts continued in the new church. The minister was called Mr Gill. I have a photograph (attached) of me in the cubs at the ceremony to dig the first sod of earth to lay the foundations. The lady digging the first sod was the caretaker of the wooden hut, I think she was called Miss Sumner?
