My Wedding Day

A Memory of Swinton.

I was married in St. Peter's Parish Church, Swinton on September 7th, 1957 - one of the happiest days of my life.  It was a lovely sunny day and my best friend May Timperley was my bridesmaid.  My husband and I had a honeymoon in St. Ann's on Sea and travelled there by train from Moorside Station.
I was christened at St. Peter's in 1935 and attended Sunday School from age 4.  When I was confirmed there by the then Bishop of Manchester, Bishop Greer, I carried on attending church to become a Sunday School teacher myself until I was 18.
