This old postcard shows a Wesleyan Chapel, but there's no indication of exactly which one it is or was. Can you identify it? From an old postcard in Judy Flynn's Collection. My appreciation to Howard Richter for his researches which show that this was the previous building to the Wesley Methodist Church on High Street (next entry). It opened in 1835 but was demolished in the 1972 following structural problems. The congregation itself was founded some decades earlier, and a Sunday School was opened in 1803 "at the preaching room", and a new chapel followed on Paradise Street in 1806. A new school was built in 1813, the chapel extended in 1832, and succeeded by the Wesleyan Chapel just three years later. The school continued in use as Sunday School and School, and became a Public Hall in 1859. The Wesley Chapel was re-fronted in 1905-6, and this is the building as shown in the postcard.
