Hi galore, you may be thinking of The Joynson memorial hall which you would  see as you cycled past the top of Bradford Road, It did resemble a small church.

It had grass all round it and was almost on the corner of Bradford Rd. and Hulme Hall Lane., just after the railway bridge near the gasometers.A big double fronted toffee shop curved round the corner  from Hulme Hall Lane to Bradford Rd.

The block bounded by Bradford Rd, Sandal St, Hooton St and Saxon St is now Sycamore court but it is a long way from Sycamore St and lower Oldham Rd where Devoges was.

Hello Viktoria, I must have been right in the first place it most definetely must have been Sycamore st just off Oldham road, I looked on a map and assumed Sycamore court was the area under a new title.

I served my time at devoge.left in 1966.

From early '64 till around Easter 1965 I worked at an engineering place called Devoge & co the actual building was an old converted church it was just off the main rd I think its most definetely gone now does anyone remember the name of this church or does anyone have a photo? They made jacquard machines used in textiles, I was moved from Wadsworth and co  manor road Droylsden to this place and I used to cycle everyday from my home down the new rd past Johnsons wire works, and Philips park to get to Oldham road,....and I hated it but it was work. I used to work in the joiners shop with a guy called Harold and another guy called Paddy who had a limp leg he used to look after me. Did any one out there work at this place or even remembers me ? I was a moody little so an  so, but I was 17 and didnt have any guys there my age so I didnt speak much, course I was very shy...ah.
