The Sunday School room in the basement of Farnhill Methodist Chapel had
facilities for a temporary stage to be erected at one end and was often used for
amateur theatricals.
We have no idea when this photograph was taken or what the event was; but the
late Gladys Crossley who, as a young Gladys Rishworth was a member of the cast,
left details of many of the performers – and a few of the audience.
Since this image was first published as part of our Group Photographs project,
we’ve been shown a better version of the photograph by Ken Barnes who was
given it by Dennis Foster. Dennis made a few more identifications but failed to
recognise himself (so perhaps our original identification was wrong ?).
