Alsager: Hassall Road Methodist Church, now a bookshop
The church was established in 1834 to meet the needs of Methodists in the small community of Alsager, who had previously met in a loom shop. It was originally established as a one-room chapel in what is now the Sunday school, on a plot donated by Alsager land-owner John Plant. In 1852, a new church building was erected on the site to meet growing demand, as Alsager grew alongside the railways.
In about 1912, the Methodist church at Wesley Place was opened to serve the other end of Alsager, with the older, smaller church retained and refurbished to serve the largely farming community.
It closed as a place of worship on 13th December 2009.

The Old Mill near Alsager
This pub closed at the time of the first Covid lockdown and also has sustained some flood damage (as its name suggests, part of the building is an old watermill). As of Feb 2023 it remains closed and in need of restoration.

Orchids in grassland off Crewe Road
The two plants in the foreground are possibly Southern Marsh Orchid, while the more distant ones to the right are probably Common Spotted Orchid, but hybrids are so frequent in this area that I.D. is difficult.
