St Hilda's

The first shot in anger from my new wide angle lens.

Having been told about this corrugated iron church I had to go for a closer look.

St Hilda's Mission Church, Syke Road, Hollingworth Fold was founded in 1931 which was surprising as the building is clearly older than that. This is because it was originally the first Catholic Church at Featherstall, Littleborough serving St Mary's RC Parish. On completion of a new brick church the old building was sold to Hollingworth through the Mother church at Milnrow, out of the Hill Charity, and was re-erected with structural modifications in 1931. It has been out of use for some time.
