Birchcliffe Centre, Birchcliffe Chapel, Building, Chapel, Churches & Chapels, Hebden Bridge
This was the third General Baptist's Chapel on the Birchcliffe Hillside the first opened in 1764 on Sandy Gate although meetings had been held at Higher Needless at the top of Wadsworth Lane some years earlier. In 1833 the chapel was rebuilt to accomodate the ever growing congregation. Due to structural problems it was decided to abandon and build a new chapel lower down Birchcliffe Road which is the building seen here which opened in 1899. The chapel closed in 1974 and became the Birchcliffe Centre now owned by and home to Pennine Heritage Trust.

The old Birchcliffe Chapel can be seen with the graveyard visible before it was colonised by trees. Being built is the new Birchcliffe Chapel which was completed in 1898. Chapel Avenue is just a building site!
Nutclough Mill is in the centre of the picture, its stages of development clearly visible with the original mill being the square darker coloured part in the centre. The mill was extended on either side and also upwards.
