The former Guide Lane Methodist Church, in Guide Lane, was originally the Guide Lane Wesleyan Chapel. SJ 927 974. © Mike Berrell. A close-up of the figure above the door, and the defaced sign. © Mike Berrell (2011). Allan Arrowsmith has advised (2011) that the building is now in use as childrens' day nursery, and that a new church  (ecumenical) has been built on the site of the demolished Red Hall Methodist Church on Audenshaw Road (see below), and that this has replaced Guide Lane and Red Hall Methodist Churches, and the U.R.C. (listed below).

The demolished Red Hall Methodist Church (Methodist New Connexion, 1876) on Audenshaw Road. SJ 917 972. It succeeded an older chapel (1783) at a different location (SJ 914 970), which had to be demolished to make way for a reservoir. This old drawing of the chapel is from a 1982 bi-centenary flower festival programme ("Red Hall, Our Heritage") belonging to Allan Arrowsmith, though there is no copyright information. © Allan Arrowsmith.
