Hi Joan The church has been demolished. Its location can be seen on the c1930 OS map:- http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Bolton-le-Moors/images/full/Bolton_OS_ec.jpg It is at the NW end of Waterloo St which is towards the top of the map in the centre. If anyone has a picture of this, or any other church that has been demolished, I would be happy to make it available for all to see through the OPC site.

Hi Peter, As I thought. So many of the churches have been demolished. Next time I go over, I think I will make the effort to photograph as many of the churches that I can. Valerie & Bob have taken photographs of church/chapel for me in the passed. Perhaps they can be used for the OPC site? Also,I wonder if Local Historical Societies have collections. I know from Terry Higginson's booklet on Brownlow Fold, that photographs were loaned by the Halliwell LFS. Thank you for the image of the map. It is wonderful and I have been browsing over it for ages. Is the map readily available? Thank you also for the fantastic job you are doing with the OPC project. I for one am VERY grateful that so much information is so easily available. Regards from Ottawa Joan Bridges
