He also sent us some memories of The Ritz which I will post soon.
"I went to Zions Sunday School between the 1975-83. I have attached a photo of the Whit Walk, the photo was taken in the mid 70s.
The lady on the far left dressed in a white hat and coat was called Phylis and she was one of the delightful Sunday School Teachers. In the late 1970's , me and the rest of the Sunday School children actually restored the games room, which was located under the Church itself. It had a full sized snooker table, half sized one too, table tennis, darts to name but a few, the Sunday School ran a club where we would attend and play games on Monday nights........btw I'm the blonde headed lad in the Whit Walk photo"
The Zion is still thriving although the snooker table et al sadly long gone.
I can recognise Joanne Williams, Katie Carr, Marie ? and one of the Inglefield girls on this photo.... great memories.
Thanks Sean, much appreciated.

The teacher was Phyllis Kempster. I attended Zion Sunday School and she was my very first teacher. This would be around 1949-50.

Hi
ReplyDeleteMy name is Babs Allen and I edit Zion Church's church magazine. I was wondering if this site was still live and if so would you mind me using some of the items in a new website I will be setting up for the church? Thanks a lot.
Hello there
ReplyDeleteThe site is still going but intermittent, If you can contact Nancy Morris, I am sure it would be beneficial for you as a lot of the Zion posts are from Nancy. If you email me I will reward your details to Nancy
