On most services, students can also buy a weekly scholar’s ticket, which costs £7.60. These are ONLY valid on schooldays on school buses and are available from the bus driver on all services where they are applicable. To help the driver, please try to have the correct fare when buying your ticket. Carnet ticket (10 single trips) £10 – available to buy on the bus or at a TfGM Travel shop.

    Addendum #2 2003 April 12, 2004 To celebrate what would have been her 66th birthday in 2003, the author decided to create a timeline covering 1937 to 1957. Anyone reading this can feel free to add in some dates or tidbits of information! Margaret Joyce Fountain 1937-1958, BIRTH TO MARRIAGE Birth Beech Mount Maternity Home in Harpurhey October 15, 1937 (North Manchester Maternity Home) (see Appendix A for more on this facility) Address 15 Chesney Avenue, Chadderton (see center of map below) notes per her mother, Elsie Taylor Fountain Paine, 1992 … And now the church going. When she was young, some neighbors took a few of the children to a small Methodist Church in Turf Lane, Chadderton. Later she went to the Anglican Church in New Moston, much nearer home. After we moved to the shop at Grotton, she went to Lees Methodist Church. Church Methodist, Turf Lane, Chadderton (see map on previous page, NE corner) Turf Lane, Methodist Church, Chadderton1 “With reference to your e-mail enquiry of 7 July concerning Turf Lane Methodist Church, Chadderton. The church was completed in November 1889. Turf Lane closed in 1967 when it amalgamated with Washbrook, Eaves Lane, Edward Street, Werneth and Cowhill Methodist Churches. A new South Chadderton Methodist Church was built in 1969. Chadderton Council bought the old church building in September 1969. 1 E-mail received 7/10/03, Jennifer Clark - Local Studies Assistant, Oldham Local Studies & Archives, 84 Union Street, OLDHAM, OL1 1DN, [email protected] The building was demolished and the site later re-developed.” NOTE: according to Manchester Archives site, this was apparently a Wesleyan Methodist Church.

    The Bugle ------Royton Local History Society's Newsletter

    No 38 March 2015 ------------------------------------------------------ The Bugle ------------------------------------------------------ Royton Local History Society's Newsletter Although we have not met between December 2014 and March 2015 the Society has continued operating in the background. I had a long and fruitful conversation with Cllr. Stephen Bashforth where he outlined future plans for our town and how he would like our input before work begins. Construction of the new leisure centre is now well under way and is due to open in September 2015. The old baths will then be demolished to make way for a car park for the new centre. We have already made representation to our councillors to try to preserve the carved stonework above the entrance to the old baths and somehow display/incorporate it into the new building. Cllr. Bashforth is fully supportive and would like to hear suggestions on how this should be done. If you have any thoughts on this matter please let me know and I will log all suggestions and present them to Cllr. Bashforth at a meeting to be arranged sometime soon. If you would like to be present at the meeting and put forward your suggestion personally I can arrange that too. Secondly, due to changes to be made to the Youth services in the Oldham Borough, a large room on the top floor of the Town Hall will soon become available and could become a Royton Museum. Once again Cllr. Bashforth is asking for our help in planning, and although there are already some exhibits in storage he would like donations of artefacts, either on loan or as gifts to the town, that can be put on display.
