Background of Gurdwara Guru Nanak Dev Ji The Gurdwara…read morebuilding was originally a church, but was bought and transformed into a Gurdwara in 1969. The Gurdwara was named after Guru Nanak Dev Ji. At the time, the Gurdwara was one of the biggest in the UK. The Sangat (congregation) grew very rapidly as this was one of only 2 Gurdwaras in Bradford. The Hall was often full to capacity between 1975 and 1978; and a lot of good work was undertaken with children many becoming proficient in reading Gurbani (the Sikh scriptures). Punjabi language classes were taught 7 days a week and school numbers exceeded 100 at the weekends. Akhand Paaths (48 hour, non-stop recitation of the Sikh scripture) and Gurpurbs (birthdays of the Gurus) were particularly well attended with many families staying overnight during Akhand Paats. An arson attack in 1986 resulted in the main Divaan (prayer) hall being destroyed. Once the building was repaired, via the donations and hard work of the congregation, the Gurdwara was re-opened to all. http://www.plumberyorkshire.co.uk/pages/plumber_in.php?plumber_in=Bradford

From what I understand, and this is all hearsay with no research done, Sihk temples are open to all strangers, you are welcomed and offered shelter if needs be.

It now stands out on Boar Lane in the shopping area of Leeds as a magnificent Georgian building. It is a Church of England church and still holds services of Holy Communion Sunday, Tuesday and Friday although most people probably don't realise this. I heard that the congregation is very small (but strong) and for most of the time is is an arts and music venue holding gigs and exhibitions. It is a great venue for this so its nice to see that it can survive running simultaneously as a place for worship and art.

There's something really atmospheric and a little spooky about a rock/folk band playing in a church. And Amy's powerful, haunting voice only adds to that vibe (as well as plastering you up against the nearest wall with its power). The Evens ascetic, preachy vibe was perfectly suited to this venue: the hard wood pews, the spooky light coming through the stained glass windows, the (I think) Gothic architecture The packed hall, lots of people sitting cross-legged up front, it all gave a fantastic feeling of community very fitting to a church. It all just came together for one of the most intense gigs ever!

OK, let me declare an interest: I attend this church regularly and have done for many years. But I…read moreknow I'm not alone in saying this is a good church, a welcoming family, a vibrant, worshipping community, and a place where it is easy to belong. There are actually four worship centres in the parish -- at St Peter's itself and on Johnson Fold, in Barrow Bridge and in Smithills -- and there are three services on Sundays at St Peter's (a family-friendly service at 9:30, a quieter service at 11:00 and a longer service at 6:30). If think that's a lot, you'd be right: this is one of the biggest Anglican churches (if not the biggest) in Manchester, and organising everything that happens is a major task! There's a big, smart Parish Centre just down the road from St Peter's -- a very useful resource for the local community -- and as you might expect, there's a lot going on both during the day and in the evenings. In particular there's a good deal of Youth Work -- indeed, the church has just appointed a Youth Minister to oversee what's going on. Worship at the church itself is fairly low with modern songs very much the order of the day at most services; and the theology is unashamedly evangelical. All in all, I'm very happy to be involved here; if you're looking for a busy, family church you could do a lot worse than see whether St Peter's might be what you're looking for.

This is a beautiful building which, when I was lecturing in Local History, I was invited to visit…read more The Ark was opened and it's beautiful objects beheld. The windoes are lovely too making the inside a myriafd of reflected lights. In 1276 when Grimsby was only a small settlement, valued only for the tidal creek of the River Humber, there was mention of 'the Jew, Ben of Grymesby' (sic) which demonstrates the length of time members of the Jewish faith have been living in the area. The Jewish cemetery, which I didn't realise existed, in Grimsby, was consecrated by the Reverends J.Goldsmith and B. Rosengard in March 1886,and the foundation stone for the Sir Moses Montefiore Synagogue in Heneage Road, which still stands as a Grade II listed building, was laid in July 1885, with the Synagogue finally opening in 1888. The synagogue in Grimsby is situated in Heneage Road, which at one time was close to the centre of the busy fishing industry. Not far away was the fish docks and the corporation docks, and it would have been surrounded by housing. It certainly would have been within 2000 cubits of many of the population in accordance with Jewish Law of the Sabbath. Members of the Jewish community have served on both Cleethorpes and Grimsby Councils and in 2001 President of the Synagogue Leo Solomon (who was once my music and maths teacher..I was in his choir)was made an Honorary Freeman of the Borough of North East Lincolnshire for his involvement in community issues. It still has a regular attendance.

It was once tidal and reading will and inventories for here shows it was a prosperous place, full of yeoman farmers and fishermen, and in the 1600's several had valuable bibles and could read. The houses around the church are interesting. Dutch gable ends built by overseers of the Dutch community draining the lands. Also an amazing Turor stile manor with barley stick chimmneys. Fletcher Christian (of The Bounty) is said to come from here. It is lanes and quite amid the noise of the neighbouring areas. I was part of an archeological dif here but no significant finds. The main focal point is Old Clee Church. The 2nd Oldest Building in Grimsby. Holy Trinity and Saint Mary. The Saxon Tower dates back to c1050AD, and was designed to warn locals of Viking invasion. It was once administered by Wellow Abbey in Grimsby and the Bishops Visitation reports at the time are really funny to read (NO history isn't stuffy!) where the monk taking services whiines and complains of not liking leaving his monastary and the walk of about 2 miles was bad and he got hungry etc. No shops or cafes etc but the church is usually open to look around and the architecture is worth a look too. Look for the stone of the witches head on the tower. Sometimes I can see it and sometimes I can't. I think she pops out.
