Peter Kessler's entry (select number 6) for this building lists a number of subsequent congregations using this building - from 1849 it was Scott's Lane Bethel Chapel (Bible Christians), then until 1938 (or later) it was Gladstone Terrace Salvation Army Barracks, and more recently King's Church.

Wellington Cemetery originally had two mortuary chapels, Anglican (ST 1302 2012) and Non-Conformist (ST 1303 2010). Dating from the foundation of the cemetery in 1875, both had been demolished in the last century. Peter Kessler speculates that the structure here may have re-used some of the fabric of the demolished chapels. © P. L. Kessler / The History Files.
