Title: The Church of St. Luke, Miles Platting.
Post by: rhoda53 on Sunday 28 August 11 21:02 BST (UK)

I am trying to find a picture of St. Lukes Church in Miles Platting.
I understand that it is no longer in existence but as my Grandparents were married there in 1916 I would love to see a picture.

Hi,

I really fabulous site is the Manchester Images site for pics of churches or place/streets in Manchester.

At the moment it is having some maintenance work done, but try over the next couple of days.

I would put the link to it, but at the moment all you will get is a blank screen, but if you google Manchester Images Collection it will connect you when it is up and running again.  It could be hours or a day?
