Originally built in 1889, St Paul’s Church, Scouthead, Oldham has undergone a £2m conversion during 2006/7 to create a state of the art conference and training venue.
To honour this historical project within Oldham, a time capsule was created to commemorate and celebrate 2007, the year this development came to fruition. The Time Capsule will leave a legacy for future generations, sharing memories, objects and stories from the present day. It will contain a host of items supplied by contributors to the development and people from the local community.
The Talking Point Time Capsule placement ceremony was held on Thursday 5th July 2007 at 11am.
Performing the formal placing of the capsule was actor John Henshaw, who recently starred in the television drama as John Prescott in the “Confessions of a Diary Secretary”. Joining him were children from Saddleworth Preparatory School, Directors and representatives from Focus Education, former parishioners, a representative from Saddleworth Nursery and the construction team.
The capsule will be positioned in the west wall of the entrance lobby. A commemorative plaque will mark its location once the centre opens in November 2007.
