That was also called the Tin Tabernacle - there were tin tabernacles all over the place.

Another on the corner of Mansfield Road/Howitt Street Robert(can't recall the name)
From Stoneyford I remember Langtons,a lad named Longdon,and another was Colin Yates. the Langtons owned the farm in front of the Boat Inn where Russell Langton lived,His father was the licensee of "The Boat" didn't Russell eventually stand in the local council elections? When "The Boat" was sold the next owners were Mabel and Gordon Needham who had a daughter Anne.This would be in the 60's.(Mabel's Table)I helped with quite a few alterations to both the pub and the outbuildings and eventually the Motel addition.When the Langtons moved they had a Bungalow built somewhere near Crowfields (between Aldercar Hall and Stoneyford Lane) the "Tin Tabernacle"(Holy Trinity Church)used to be further on under the railway bridge, a sharp left and it stood on the left hand side next to the railway bank,the road was unadopted so it was more potholes than road, I know because in the early 60's quite a few of our regular Taxi fares came from Crowfields and Stoneyford and I had the pleasure of driving them. I'm fairly sure that Russell got a scholarship for Heanor Grammar round about 1951.His mother was either a teacher or even Headmistress at Aldercar Infants.Colin Yates was a good sportsman and always prominent at school sports days.All I remember about the Longdon's was they had a good name around the cricket community,I seem to remember Stoneyford always had a good cricket team consisting of mainly Longdon's.
