I went to Sunday School & Brownies at Havergal House.
I still have my Hymn Book that I was awarded with. Miss Bagg used to play the piano & for some reason she took a liking to me and gave me a bone china watering can (when I was about 8 years old) which I also still have.
I used to live in New John Street.

I was christened there. Hope the picture brings back some other memories of the place for you.

I went there regularly in the early 50s; for a time, morning and evening services and Sunday school in the afternoon. My sister and her husband were strong Methodists. Dennis, my brother-in-law went on to be a Methodist minister. I remember many faces but not so many names. Was there a deaconess named Barbara. I know there was an Ivy went there as she was a family friend and neighbour but I have forgotten her last name.
I took a photograph of it about three years ago but have mislaid it. I think is was a scout centre then.

My first Boy Scout troop was 266 Havergal House. We were originally in St Stephens Church on Newtown Row and then in Elkington St school.
