Beulah Church, Rochdale Road, Brittania, Bacup Lancashire GPS Location N53°41'24.98" W2°10'43.86" |
Located at the junction of Rochdale Road and New Line at Britannia, this Church was opened originally as Britannia United Methodist Church.
It later became known as Beulah Church and in the local census of Church attendances taken on 29th January 1887
the Church boasted a total of 321 worshippers for the afternoon and evening services.
A dwindling congregation meant that it was difficult to afford the restoration work needed to enable the Church to survive,
and it finally closed for worship around the year 2000. The building is currently for sale, although temporarily rented out to a local carpet manufacturer.
Church services still go on for the dedicated few, being held in the local Britannia County Primary School.
