Brookfield Church, Gorton
« on: Saturday 10 May 08 09:47 BST (UK) »

I'm looking for a picture of Brookfield Church, Hyde Road, Gorton, for my wife's parents' Diamond Wedding later this month.
I have seen the one on the church's own website but I would prefer an older one if possible.
I have also tried the excellent www.churches-uk-ireland.org/g.html website, but without luck.
Is anyone able to help?
Thanks.
George.

I want to hear the peal of bells now! Can you get sound on rootschat?  Grin Grin Grin

Actually Mig I think your pics are better than some of the Manchester Local Images ones. But they do have a nice colour postcard of the church. Are those trollybus lines over the road?  I just about remember trolleybuses from being a toddler

Sorry George I'm always wandering off topic!
