Coverdale Baptist
Church
 The Coverdale Baptist Church is
located on Coverdale Crescent in Ardwick on the site
of the former Fort Ardwick housing complex that became
home to many Longsight families after the slum
clearance of the 1960s and 70s.
 Below are some images of the church taken around the time when it was built.   That controversial housing complex
is long gone to be replaced by a low rise housing
development separated from Hyde Road by a wide grassed
area.
 The baptist community who use this
church call the building "The Well". They say on
their website that, "We
meet at The Well on Coverdale Crescent
in Ardwick. The building is owned by the
Church and is also a base for our work in
Coverdale community."
They add that, "You
can expect a warm welcome, great worship, and
a friendly bunch of people gathering to learn
more about God. We are very informal and often
meet cafe style around tables. We are a small
group of people of all ages and different
cultural backgrounds. We love to see the Holy
Spirit working freely and have seen people
healed many times as we worship and pray for
each other. You can also expect tea, coffee
and biscuits!"
