Wat Charoenbhavana

Wat Charoenbhavana, Manchester - également connu en anglais comme le Centre de Méditation bouddhiste du Nord-Ouest, établi le 8 février 2004, est le premier temple bouddhiste thaïlandais dans le nord-ouest de l'Angleterre. Il est situé dans une ancienne usine de rail pour rideau de Salford. Le temple a été nommé Wat Charoenbhavana (Manchester) par la communauté thaïlandaise (littéralement « le temple pour la pratique de la méditation ») et a été consacré, avec la bénédiction du très vénérable Phrarajbhavanavimol, à la tête de la mission bouddhiste thaïlandaise en Angleterre. Le temple a été accepté comme lieu officiel de culte religieux (no.81212) le 4 juin 2004 avec l’aide du Forum de culture Thaï d’Angleterre. À l’origine, le temple n'avait pas d’image de Bouddha. L’image de Bouddha de huit pieds qui a la place d'honneur dans la pièce principale du sanctuaire a été sauvée d'un bord de route à Cardiff. Le temple gère une variété de services pastoraux pour la communauté bouddhiste à Manchester et marque la plupart des événements du calendrier bouddhiste thaïlandais. Une variété de cours du soir sur le bouddhisme et de méditation sont présentés durant les jours de semaine et des cours de langue thaïe la fin de semaine.

Pendleton railway station

Pendleton (Broad Street) railway station was a railway station serving Pendleton, a district of Salford. It was on Broughton Road (A576) just behind St. Thomas' Church. It was about 100 yards further up Broughton Road from Pendleton Bridge railway station and nearer Pendleton Church and Broad Street (A6). This station was known as Pendleton Broad Street due to its closeness to the A6 Broad Street some 100 yards away. It was on the Manchester Victoria to Wigan Wallgate line with a spur to the Manchester Victoria to Bolton line so trains to Bolton used it after the closure of Pendleton Bridge in 1966, and "Broad Street" was then dropped from its name.
