    Good day
    Perhaps you can check in Norden (Greater Manchester, Engeland)

    Good luck

    Hi, some more details
    What I found There are several old postcards and sellers offering a 'Norden Church / Norden, Rochdale, Lancashire' — old postcard listings on sites like eBay show similar images. The current church/community Bamford Chapel & Norden URC is located in Norden (Rochdale) and has photos and documents of the building that closely match the type and location in your photo.d3hgrlq6yacptf.cloudfront.net There is a recent photo of Bamford Chapel on Geograph that shows the same building (corner, window arrangements, portal) — this supports the match between the postcard and this location.geograph.org.uk Why I think it is your card Your card clearly has the text 'Norden' on the edge, and there are early 20th-century cards of churches in Norden (Rochdale). The online listings and local church information (Bamford Chapel/Norden URC) make this the most plausible location.

    Hope this will help you to find the correct location.

    hi, many thanks for your time and detailed suggestions. It would seem possible that it is a chapel as no spire but sadly it is not Norden. different window complex. the text on the border is Moon @ son, crewe, not norden.
