Union Hall -
Stretford Road This modern building
sits on
the corner of Stretford Road and Newcastle Road in
Hulme. It is
home to the Union Hall Evangelical Church which
describes itself as
a, "friendly,
family church
with a multi-cultural congregation. We
have a strong emphasis on sound Bible teaching and
outreach activities."
  The building may be
relatively
new but the history of the church reaches back to the
19th
Century. They trace their work from the 1880s when
a preacher
called Dr. Alexander McLaren was preaching at the Union
Chapel, on
Oxford Road across from today's Whitworth Park, and
drawing large
crowds. The postcard image below shows that
chapel.
 The message on the back of the card, dated the 11th of May, 1905, supports this.  |
