Ma Grannie ( Bessie Bell) an ma Auntie Jeannie (Jackson) both went there, definitely in the 50s. Ah'll ask ma Maw the night aboot it, in case she can remember anything an get back tae ye.
Later:
asked ma maw an she did go to the Bethany Halls wi ma Grannie an ma Auntie Jeannie, her memories were that there were so many poor people there, but then again as she says "we were all very poor son"
kinda puts it into perspective.

Was there not a Bethany Hall in Burgher Street in the 1950's?. If it wasn't a Bethany Hall can anyone tell me what church organization did it belong to. It was across Burgher Street from Mc Ewan Street.

The wooden church I think your talking about on Burger st was called the Berrachia Hall(spelling), it was next to shields scrap yard on the same side of the church of Nazarene. btw, for those interested, there was a 3rd church on Burgher st between the old Mcewan st and Argour st, 3 churches in 1 street, ;D

Starting at Parkhead Cross the first church in Burgher St was the Church of the Nazarene. On the same side of the street across from Mc Ewan St was a wooden church, which I think was the Bethany Halls. On the other side of Burgher St at the corner of Ardgour St was the Methodist Church (where Newlands school used the church hall as a dinner school.)

The building I'm talking about was between the two tenement buildings. If you came up Burgher Street by the Social and the pend the Beracah Hall was in between the tenements before you got to the Church of the Nazarene. The church you are talking about was the Waddell Memorial Methodist Church.

So, the Waddell Memorial Methodist Church was the 1st church on the right coming up Burgher st, I remember the church as a storage/warehouse around 1969-70, funny enough I remember the day it was demolished and playing amongst all the rubble

Thought you might be interested in this pic of a bible presented to my uncle, Jimmy Lauchlan, at Beracah Hall. First pic I've uploaded - hope this is the right way to do it.... Muso Attachments:

So where was the original Beracah Hall in Duke Street was it facing the Granada as there seemed to be an old church type building there which lay empty for most of young life time...in fact it was only demolished prior to the development of the Forge Shopping Centre. Well done Muso a real piece of Parkhead social history you have there...

Tho at the back was a hall used by the Orange lodge so I doubt it was the Berach Hall. Wasn't there one on hte Gallowgate?

Well done Muso a real piece of Parkhead social history you have there... Talked to my ma & aunt - going east from Janefield Cemetery towards Parkhead Cross, Beracah Hall was up the last pend on the left before the cross, fairly near to it. She recalled the people who ran it as really nice, decent people - they arranged a holiday for my aunt, her brother and baby sister (my ma) at some house in "the country", but my aunt & uncle were miserably homesick the whole time. My ma was fine, cos there were more toys there than she'd ever seen! No charge was made or asked for this, or for attendance at the Hall. They have fond memories of it, remembering happy & cheerful hymns or songs. Muso

Hold the bus......talked about Beracah again with ma and aunt - I misunderstood the starting point - sorry. If coming up Duke St, the right-hand bend leading to Parkhead Cross - where the actual Forge (Beardmores...I think?, not the shopping centre) barriers used to swing out to stop traffic, further on there used to be a pend on the left just before the Cross. There was a butcher called Hodges and a chemist - Beracah Hall was up the pend was in between these, and there was also a pawn up the pend. The Beracah Hall was run by the Archibald family, and my aunt still recalls fondly their generosity and kindness. Muso ps where it says pend, make that a close....
