St Paul's Church, Portwood. Stockport

[Gerry]

I would like to include a picture of St Paul's Church, Portwood, Stockport in some family history notes.  Understand the church has been demolished?

Grateful for advice on where I could find a picture

Hi Gerry - I've found that there are some "historic photographs" on part of Stockport's website at
http://www.rootschat.com/links/052j/
I couldn't see St Paul's on there (could have missed it) but it does say these are part of the collection & gives a link for the Local Heritage Library, so it may be worth asking them.

I've looked on my "usual suspect" websites Cheshire Churches & Carl's Cam & they have nothing either.

Thanks for the site details.  Some interesting pictures, sadly none of St Paul's that I could see.

Hi Gerry,

I’ve been looking in Stockport Library for photographs of St Paul’s.
I didn’t find any but did find a couple of illustrations.
I picked the one I thought best and you will find it on the practice post on the beginner’s board.  I’m not too confident with the scanner and attaching images, always worried about getting the size right so thought the beginner’s board was the best place.

Pat.

Hello Pat

Many thanks for the illustration of St Paul's Church - not bad for a beginner eh  

I've downloaded a copy to illustrate some notes and its just what I wanted.

Many thanks and a Happy New Year

     Not bad, but could be better.
     Glad it was of some use,
     and a Very Happy New Year to you too

Hi Gerry,
I think I've got some pics of St Pauls somewhere. If your still looking let me know & I'll try to find them.
