Love Clough, Lancs., the long-gone Providence Chapel. Another view. Nigel explains that it was originally built in 1846 as a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel and school house. In 1871 a new chapel was built, the earlier one having proved too small. It closed in 1961, and demolished in 1967. Both from old postcards in Nigel Birch's Collection.

Lower Darwen, Lancs., the former Wesleyan Chapel, which was used as a Sunday School when a new chapel was built in mid-Victorian times. It was probably demolished in the early 1900's when a new Sunday School was built. From an old postcard, Anne Welding's Collection. This old postcard of Blackamoor Church was for a long time in the "Unknown" section. Janet Gimber had located a Blackamoor as being part of Blackburn. Such limited information we'd been able to find suggested that this is St. James, Lower Darwen, which was demolished in 1969. My appreciation to Pauline Hodkinson for confirming these details, and also for sending in the date of its consecration - 15 March 1829.
