Mount Zion Chapel, Great Harwood
« on: Thursday 27 December 07 17:52 GMT (UK) »
Hi there

I'm new to Roots Chat although I've been researching my family history for almost two years now.

Does anyone have, or know where to obtain a photo/image of the Mount Zion Chapel, Cattle Street, Great Harwood? It's been demolished years ago apparently but I'm hoping someone has a piccy of it. My grandma, Rachel Rosbottom married Harold Brooks Pedley there in 1916. I've looked on the fantastic Great Harwood site and done loads of "Google" searches but to no avail!

Can anyone out there help me please?

Thanks

Yes, that's how I found out!

Someone MUST have an old foto somewhere though!

There are two very useful yahoo groups for Great Harwood

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/arrodgen/
This group was set up for requests about Great Harwood Genealogy

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/greatharwood/
Which covers general issues about Great Harwood and may be the place to ask for a photograph if the genealogy site fails

Both groups require a sign in but are free to join

Ian Fairclough the author of the Great Harwood web site is a member of both groups and he may have a photograph that he has not included on his site.
