Sundays Schools were obviously well attended back in 1914. I’m sorry that there are no details on the reverse of the photo and I can provide no other information but thought it might be of local interest".

The Victoria History entry for the chapel: "... The Bible Christian cause at Ruardean Woodside was renewed several times before 1881, when a handful of people built a chapel at Knights Hill, to the west. The chapel, called Zion, became part of the Methodist Church in 1932 but closed in 1973 (fn. 85) and was a house in 1992.

Clive Mason added: "... Us brothers attended when we moved from Brierley to Woodside a long long time ago about 1956".

Julie Hope added (March 2022): "... I was christened at this chapel in 1952. My grandmother (Ethel Freeman ) cleaned there and lit the stove on Sunday mornings".
