St. Mary (R.C.) on Zetland Street dates from 1856. SJ 941 980. © Mike Berrell. Three interior views - 1, 2, 3. All © Mike Berrell (2010). Link. It was preceded by St. Mary on Astley Street. Opened in 1825, structural problems soon became apparent, caused by nearby mine workings, and after only 22 years it was demolished. Several other churches sprang from it, including St. Peter, Stalybridge, St. Paul, Hyde, and St. Anne, Ashton. The site of the church and its disused graveyard remains as a grassed area, and a plaque commemorates the church. Both © Mike Berrell (2014). Link.
