I am curious: What happened to this church's congregation? Did they disband or move to smaller facilities? Are there not newly forming "contemporary-type" churches in the area that could/would be able to use this church?

Thanks,

Brian

Mount Pleasant was rebuilt on the same site LYY, the Foxhill Bank congregation merged with Mount Pleasant, that was many moons ago

Dont know the name of it, but the church next to Ewood Park has just been demolished, never paid much attention to it previously, but some of the stonework and decorative timber are no less than beautiful, even if it is in Ewood! :eek::D

Might end up as a mosque like a church in Clitheroe! Much better to turn it into a retail outlet, charge people to come in and look around the building, refund the people that actually buy something in the store, and I mean retail in large items not another pound shop!

The congregation of Cannon Street Baptist has amalgamated with Christchurch I believe.

There is a difference between disagreeing with everybody elses opinion and somebody making a supposed statement of fact.

It was actually York Street, Foxhill Bank, and Mount Pleasant which were merged in 1969, to form what is now Rhyddings Methodist. It was housed in the old Mount Pleasant Chapel until that too was demolished, and rebuilt in it's present form in the eighties.

York Street is still standing, and is used for light industrial use. Foxhill Bank was used as a slipper factory until it's demolotion in the nineties.
