Hi I'm working in the old Congregational Chapel at the moment, which will soon be flats. I would love to know some history of the building, thanks .

I have a souvenir booklet celebrating the centenary of the Congregational Chapel in 1912 and which gives a short history of the chapel including information about various ministers. The booklet is very fragile so if you are interested I can send you a photocopy c/o the Hillcrest Centre address.

Yes  please we would love to have a copy Pam.   

I personally had the pleasure of working in your house in Hill Crest Road and remember your family with great affection.

My grandmother used to live in the ground floor flat next door. My brother and I used to hear the congregation singing on sunday mornings, while we played in her back garden. There was a big Logan berry tree there, we were encouraged to climb it to pick them. This would have been in the mid fifties. There was always excitement when the siren went, we would rush out to see the fire engine leave the fire station. Probably not what you were looking for Mark, but it brought back some memories for me. Hope you get some info, I look forward to reading it.

Looks like the building is around about 200 years old Mark, so it should have a bit of history !
