Elmsleigh Hall, Elmsleigh Drive
The Members of Coleman Street realised the need for a church in Leigh, for members living in and around the Highlands Estate. Elmsleigh Hall was opened in 1930. There was a great famly atmosphere at Elmsleigh Hall, Children queued up outside on Wednesday Evenings be entertained often to watch much loved magic lantern Slides. Oswald Pearce was the Father of the Wednesday Evening meetings. People came from far afield to attend services and metings. There was great emphasis on Missionary work, the women put on shows of their needlecraft skills, and sent clothing and blankets overseas. Many of the members distinguished themselves during the war, and some went on to do valuable missionary work abroad.
Sadly by 1992 numbers diminished, the congragetion was down to a few older people and eventually the Hall was closed in december 1992.
The Hall was taken over by the Potters House Christian Fellowship.
1212. The Hall is for sale.
