Waterfoot, Lancashire Former Bethel Baptist Church (on Burnley Road East) seen here undergoing demolition in 1998. SD 834 220. © Nigel Birch. The former Bethesda Methodist Church on Prospect Road, taken in the 1960's by Nigel Birch's father. Former Christian Science Church on Bacup Road (now closed). SD 835 216. © Nigel Birch. Cowpe Sunday School, on Cowpe Road. SD 845 207. Nigel tells me that the congregation of St. James split when a new vicar went "high church", and the "low church" faction took to using this Sunday School for services. It still remains in use, but St. James closed some years ago. © Nigel Birch. Evangelical Church (formerly Salvation Army Hall). © Rob Brettle.
