The Church |
 Tibshelf church pre-1901, probably in the 1880's, with a pile of coal in the road awaiting collection.... |
 Tibshelf church photographed about 10 minutes later and with some degree of elevation! |
 Tibshelf church pre-1910. The original chancel is visible and there is no south aisle. Following a fire in 1910 a south aisle and new chancel were built. |
 The pre-1910 interior, showing the original chancel and narrow nave. |

 Tibshelf church from the north. This photograph is difficult to date precisely but is post-1910 as the small wooden building to the right was erected temporarily for baptisms etc. whilst rebuilding of the chancel took place (so temporary that it is in fact still there today!) |
A long procession, led by choristers, sets off on the short journey from the Upper Colliery Schools to the Church to officially re-open it following the 1910 building work. |
 The new interior of 1910 unveiled in all its glory. Excepting the removal of the gas lamps the view is the same today. |
 Although difficult to date precisely this view of the church is post-1901 (the new, white, illuminated clock face is visible). To the left is the Vicarage of the day and to the right is long gone terraced housing. |
 A nice view of the rambling Vicarage from the Church Tower. The buildings were several hundred years old and there is good evidence of an underground tunnel connecting to the church. Sadly the building was condemned in the early 1970's and the plot now houses several new houses. |
 The rear of the Vicarage as seen from the Back Lane on the other side of the railway cutting. |
 The Methodist Church was very strong in Tibshelf at the turn of the 19th - 20th centuries. This photograph commemorates the opening of the new Wesleyan Chapel on High Street in 1909. |
