Title
Birchcliffe Chapel, Hebden Bridge - DEF00352
Description
David Fletcher walking up to the door. 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.
