Hello folks.....by some miracle does anyone have a photo of the Methodist Church in Trittiford Rd Billesley?
Hope so....

Many Thanks,

Hi margaret.
Funny enough I am also looking for that pic as I am writing a book on Billesley and as you probably know it was demolished several years ago...

Hello Pete, actually I didn't know that it had been demolished... we will just have to hope that someone has pictures of the church in their wedding albums...hope so !!

I was a member of the Boys' Brigade there from 1980-1992. I used to be in the band that used to march around the streets of Billesley. I can dig out some photos if you'd like?

I remember going to boys brigade (or a mixed version) in this church. Standing in the hall playing a game where you had to find whatever they asked. They said nail and someone produced their finger nail and I thought it was brilliant. It was sad when they knocked it down on the 90s, it was in a row of civic buildings punctuated by houses.
