CELEBRATIONS to mark the 150th anniversary of Haslingden Methodist Church continued with a grand sale.

The Manchester Road church welcomed more than 100 people to the event which was opened by Valley-born Methodist minister the Rev Terrence Isherwood and his wife Jean.

The sale raised £1,700 in aid of the National Children's Home.

Mr Isherwood thanked all the organisers for their efforts before conducting a family service with Guides, Brownies and Rainbows represented in the church on the Sunday morning.
