St NIcholas Church 20th Anniversary - just seen the photograph, and certain I attended this event, along with my parents, Allan and Hilda Mulholland. My father was the first verger, and involved in preparing the church for opening in 1932. I met both Rev Barnett, who went on to become Canon at Wells Cathedral, and Rev Garlick who later was on BBC radio religious morning broadcasts. My memories of St Nicholas are stil quite vivid, as I atended church and socials on visits to Burnage. My parents lived in Leyland Avenue. Good to see the thriving community - never in doubt. With every good wish.
