General notes

The card is marked "J.E. Lacy, Post Office" and with the number 28594. JE Lacy was the postmaster and appears in a 1913 Directory.

"The earliest Methodist services in the area were held at Arnside Tower Farm from the 1830's. In 1873 a Bolton cotton spinner, John Hebden, came to Hill House (now the Woodlands Hotel), and made available one of his outbuildings for Methodist services. This became too small for the congregation it had attracted, and Hebden provided a field as the site for a new chapel, which was built and consecrated in 1879."
