Christadelphian Hall. SP 500 754. © Paul Brown.

Christian Fellowship Centre (Elim Pentecostal) on Cambridge Street. It looks as if it may have been Methodist or Congregational at some point - can you confirm?  SP 513 754. © Paul Brown. Link. Howard Richter advises that this was Wesleyan Methodist. The original pre-1887 Mission Chapel was converted to be the Sunday School when the present building was erected on or before 1905, when it shows on a map of that year. A short way along the road, on the opposite side, stands St. John, a Mission from St. Andrew. Probably now closed, a 1954 photo of it is available here.

The now-demolished Holy Trinity. Previously in the "Unknown" section, Barney Tyrwhitt-Drake wanted to put a name to the church in an old photo taken by a family member in 1865. Thanks to Phil Draper for the ID. He advises that this was a Scott church, and was demolished in 1983 despite a long campaign for its preservation. It was Grade A listed.
