Wesleyan Schools Rooden Lane (Heaton Park) Prestwich

The foundation stone of a new school-building, in connection with the Wesleyan chapel in Rooden-lane, Prestwich, was laid on Saturday afternoon, by Mr John Tomkins, of Cheetham-hill. The building adjoins, and, in its Gothic style of architecture, is intended to harmonise with the chapel, and it will accommodate about 250 children. The basement floor will be arranged as a play-ground, and the upper room will be a very handsome and spacious one, with an open-timbered roof. The architects are Messrs. Clegg and Knowles, of Manchester, and the contractor, Mr. Mark Foggatt. The cost of the budding will be £790. [Manchester Courier 28 April 1866 page 11]
