Chain Bar Methodist Church Moston

[Gaille]

Hi tea tree,

My dad was a member of the 2/289th.

Grandad was one of the leaders I think.
I had a load of paperwork relating to the n2/389th, I gave them to the  scouting association when grandad died for their archive.

Mum, Dad and both sets of grandparents were part of the church in the1960s.

May I ask your surname? I'm guessing you and my parents will know each other lol.

Hi Gaille

I was at the final service too along with my brother and his wife, we met many friends from some 30 years ago at the buffet following the service, a sad day but in some respects a happy reunion too.

I attended through the late 1960's, cubs and scouts followed by senior scouts,my Dad was the organist for quite some years, hidden behind the large cross in the centre of the choir area, he also played for the choir, when there was one, then in the later years, he played the organ in at the front of the church near the font.

There has been a lot of history lost with the closure of the church, I'm trying to find out what has happened to the scout troop. Can you help with any information about what has become of them please?

My Dad, the Rev Bryan Imbush was minister at this church until 1976. My mum was Daphne, children 2 boys and 2 girls.
I have many fond memories of this church, Saturday nights helping out (although not much for a 6 year old) at whist card nights. We also came to the last ever service and met with friends we hadn't seen in ages.
We visited our old house 268 Moston Lane, unfortunately didn't go inside.
Could anyone tell me what happened to 3 girls who lived next door called the Frickers?
They must be mid 50s by now.
Also I would love to hear from anyone who knew my family.


Edit , living.
