Jean,Great photo's of a generation gone by,I wonder if you can clear things up .There were 3 Methodists churches in Platt Bridge 1-The Independent Methodist church situated on Liverpool Road and the corner of Barton st.2-The Piimative Methodist Church on Liverpool Road furthur up from the King Billy (Later became a sewing Factory).3-the Wesleyan Methodist Church on Walthew Lane .I suspect its the first one but need to be sure. Which one ?.

Thanks Jean, brings back happy memories. The church is Trinity Methodist on Walthew Lane. Jean is the girl in the middle and I am on her right.
