SP 037 872. © Chris Emms (2010). The former Dr. Priestley's Chapel (Unitarian) on Moor Street, aka New Meeting House, was destroyed in the 1791 "Church and King Riot's". A new chapel was built (New Meeting), and this was replaced by the Church of the Messiah (Unitarian) on Broad Street, built in 1862. The now redundant old chapel was sold to the Roman Catholic Church. The Old Meeting House (Unitarian, founded in 1686) was destroyed in the same 1791 riot. Another chapel was built on the same spot, and lasted until the site was acquired by the L.N.W.R for extending their station. A new church was built in 1885 - the Old Meeting Church (Unitarian) on Bristol Street. All © unitarian.co.uk.
