New Wesleyan Sunday-schools, which have been erected on the site of an old Wesleyan chapel at Wharton, Winsford, were opened on Tuesday week. The contractors were Messrs. James Fowles and Sons, of Over. The new schools, which have been designed by Mr. J. Cawley, of Castle Northwich, are 90 feet by 35 feet and have been erected on pitch-pine logs 11 inches square, so that in the event of a recurrence of subsidence the structure could be raised. They consist of a schoolroom, holding 800 children, a band-room to seat 300, a store room, and six classrooms. The cost of the new building is £910. [Building News - Friday 15 April 1892]
