David Meredith advises that this church was taken over at some point in the late 19th century by "The Christian Church", an independent splinter from the Unitarians. They existed until the 1960's when it became an auction house. It's now in use as an Asian food wholesale business. The remaining congregation joined Bury Baptist Church. The frontage of the building is listed. Former Zion United Methodist Free Church (1888) on Warth Road. Now secular, but currently not in use. SD 795 094. © Mike Berrell.
