The Methodist Church in Reddish started with cottage meetings above the Aspinal Smithy at Brook Green Farm which was situated behind what is now the Bulls Head Hotel. In 1800 the Stockport Circuit took charge of the small enthusiastic society. The Church was registered in 1806 and the first Chapel opened in 1808. The original building soon became too small, and a scheme was launched in 1875 to remedy this, resulting in the building of a Chapel which cost £3000, this was large enough to hold 350 people. In 1907 a new Centenary Chapel opened which seated 850 people. By the 1970s however it was becoming hard to maintain. The Sunday school was damaged by fire rendering it almost unusable so a decision was taken to sell part of the land and to rebuild the church as a multifunctional building. In 1971 the foundation stone was laid for the new church, this stone having been taken from the base of the front from the 1910 building. The new church was designed by Mr. T. Howcroft and the built by William Thorpe. It is part of the Hyde & Denton Methodist Circuit.

The junction of Turnbull Road and Reddish Lane, Gorton, Manchester. Just visible, attached to the chimney stack, is a "squariel", the squarish satellite tv dish used by the British Satellite Broadcasting Company before its merger with Sky(see supplemental). SJ89509550. See posts re. this photo in the grid square discussion - may not be a BSB dish!

Looking over Audenshaw Reservoir and the east of the city to the distant Manchester Airport which is marked by a cloud. Viewed from a Manchester bound flight from Prague.
