Our meeting at the "Clearway Coffee Bar" on 26 October 1968 was held at Wood Top Mission, 199 Bury Road Rawtenstall, and you'll see that the advertising above also mentions a Friday Coffee Bar with the Messengers gospel group at the same venue. It also advertises a Sunday "Beat Service" at St Mary's Church, Rawtenstall with the Navigators.
Wood Top Mission, 199 Bury Road, Rawtenstall |
However, in August 2018, Phil Lowe sent me this picture below of St Mary's Church in Rawtenstall (about 1 km north of Woodtop Mission, on St Mary's Way)
It shows St Marys Church one year
before (around October 1967) when work was taking place on the graveyard in
order (I think) to widen St Mary's Way in connection with the "Fold Pass".
The posters on the temporary covering of the graveyard show advertising for the following: Friday 20 October 1967 Clearway Coffee Bar Group: The Messengers (Presumably at Woodtop Mission, but the poster is not clear) Saturday 21 October 1967 Clearway Coffee Bar Group: The Cobblers (Presumably at Woodtop Mission, but the poster is not clear) Sunday 22 October 1967 Beat Service (plus Youth Rally afterwards?) Group: The Glorylanders Speaker Bernard Briscoe (Presumably the "Beat Service" took place in St Mary's Church but, again, the poster is not clear) |
