Cliff or Providence Congregational Chapel stood on Victoria Street at SN 3034 1085. Coflein gives it dates of 1750, with re-builds in 1809 and 1853, and demolition circa 1950. Its graveyard survives and was seen by Streetview in 2021. Coflein.

English New Congregational Chapel on King Street. Its Coflein entry dates it to "about 1890". SN 3021 1099. © Peter Morgan (2011).

Coflein has a listing for Mariner's Chapel, which it describes as being ruinous in 1880 and lost by 1918. It gives it a grid reference of SN 30148 10637, "below the high water mark". Assuming this location is accurate, it will have stood behind the curved wall seen in a Streetview from 2021.

St. Martin (CiW). Another view. SN 3021 1144. © Peter Morgan (2011). Link. Coflein, which says that the dedication was originally to St. Michael. Grade II* listed. The churchyard has its own grade II listing.

The site of the demolished Tabernacle Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, as seen by Streetview in 2022. Coflein dates it to a re-build in 1872 of a chapel of 1833, with demolition "by 1989". I haven't been able to find a photo. SN 3015 1077.

The 1" O.S. maps of 1950 and 1960 show an unidentified place of worship on Market Street at SN 3020 1083. The small scale of the maps means that the exact position of the building can't be fixed, but it seems likely that it was the building attached to the clocktower (2022 Streetview) - notice the glazing in the upper storey windows.

The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on New Bridge Street was, according to its Coflein entry built in 1810-11, and demolished by 1998, BUT Streetview shows The Old Chapel (2022 Streetview), which surely must be it. SN 3012 1086.
