I used to attend there when it was a school during the week and a church on sunday and I remember the mission hall at the side of it where they used to hold dances
Can anyone tell me when the Mission was built. I know there are photographs on Wigan World from the 1890s when it was under construction
Many thanks

It was dedicated on 1st November, 1894 - All Saints Day and was I believe built within the year ie 1894
I was a member of the church choir and attended Sunday School there. My Mother went to school there when she lived in Hayes street, Maiden name Grimshaw.
