MacFadyen Memorial Congregational Church. The main church building pictured here was demolished some years ago, and the congregation, which has now combined with the local Baptist congregation and calls itself "Chorlton Central Church", meets in the refurbished adjacent church hall, visible in the foreground of the picture.

Rebuke accepted - I was there too, but I'd left by then! I'd somehow got the impression that it didn't happen till the beginning of the '70s.

This shows the school before it was considerably enlarged in the 1930s.

I got it wrong first time, mislead by the title. The road across the picture is Barlow Moor Rd continueing right to Chorlton Park and Southern Cemetary. The light blg was first a skating ring and became a dance Hall.Chorlton High/Grammar is towards the top of Sandy Lane running SW to NE of pic.The road from centre running to SW is Beech Road with what we knew as Chorlton Rec. almost off the picture. Confirmed the Grammar School demolished and moved to Nell Lane just off the picture.

I think the light- coloured building half way up on the right-hand side is Chorlton High School - later to become Chorlton Grammar School & now demolished. Can anyone confirm?



There is a photo of it here:-

I think the building that you refer to is now MC Donalds with the school further to the right and off the photo. I hope this helps?
