A tourist's walking guide to the town says that the old fire station (1913) on Falmouth Road stands on the site of Bethesda Chapel, but it doesn't say which denomination it was. Was it the Bethesda mentioned here on Genuki as being Wesleyan, from 1840? SW 6986 4181. © Paul E. Barnett (2023).

No available on-line maps show Blowinghouse Primitive Methodist Chapel, but this source locates it close to a row of houses on Railway Villas, Blowinghouse. It also dates it to 1850.
