The red brick building on Bolton Road was originally known as Victoria Wesleyan Methodist Church, built between 1901 and 1903, replacing a smaller chapel in Moss Lane (dating from 1850). In the early part of the 20th. Century there were four other Methodist Churches in Pendlebury - Ellesmere Street (Wesleyan), Happy Land (United), Bethel (Primitive) and Wesley (Wesleyan). All these have closed, and Victoria was simply known as Pendlebury Methodist Church. The main Chapel could seat 500 people. The building is in the process of being demolished.

Debs,
lets hope it still is.
I have emailed asking if there were any memorials in the church and if they could advise if demolition has taken place.
Will report back when more info received.
