Church has picture of past
10:18am Friday 11th April 2008
ST MARK'S Church celebrated its 100th anniversary with an exhibition weekend.
The church was opened in 1908 in Owen Street, Rosegrove, but moved to Rossendale Road, Burnley, in 1962.
To mark the centenary, hundreds of photos were supplied for an exhibition by the congregation - including some of the first wedding at the church in 1957.
Church Warden Sandra Moolgoaker said: "It was lovely. It was nice to see people looking at all the old photographs.
"St Marks' Brownies also did a display of their work for the exhibition.
"We will be doing other events to celebrate the centenary later in the year."
