The Baptist Church on Watnall Road has a date-stone which should be for 1876 - the stonemason was evidently unsure about the use of the Latin numbering system.
SK 5352 4908. Both © David Regan (2021). Link. This page on the church website mentions a preceding church, still surviving as part of a garage. A 2014 Streetview provides a view of what I assume is the building, off Belle Isle Road. SK 5340 49069.

The former Bourne Primitive Methodist Chapel, on Watnall Road and Beardall Street, is dated here to 1895-6. Its My Primitive Methodists entry says it was closed in the 1970's. SK 5349 4902. © David Regan (2021).

The Central Methodist Church (1989), on Baker Street is the second church on the site, the previous one being Trinity Methodist (1872-3, source, with photo), which was successor to the Methodist Church on Annesley Road, for which see Methodist New Connexion (below). SK 5344 4939. © David Regan (2021).

A former Congregational Church stands at the junction of Portland Road and Henry Street in Butler's Hill. It's dated here to 1879, on the site of a preceding tin tabernacle of 1868. Later U.R.C., its closure is dated here to 1993. SK 5399 4859. © David Regan (2021). A photo of the interior is available here. See also U.R.C., below.

East Side Methodist Church (1970) on Bestwood Road and Cavendish Place, Butler's Hill, stands on the site of a Primitive Methodist Chapel. SK 5415 4850. © David Regan (2021). The P.M. Chapel is dated here to 1879, and there's also a photo of the chapel.

Holy Cross (R.C.) on Watnall Road is dated here to 1960. Circa SK 532 487. Link. It was preceded by an earlier church (1887-1960) on Carlingford Road - also Holy Cross - which oddly isn't labelled as a place of worship on either the 1901 6" O.S. map, or the 25" of 1892-1914. An old photo of it is available here. SK 5338 4953. Another view. All © David Regan (2021).

Kings Family Church on the north side of Derbyshire Lane. Circa SK 534 491. © David Regan (2021). Link.

A Methodist New Connexion Chapel once stood on Annesley Road, the town's first nonconformist chapel. When David visited it was in the process of being demolished, following a fire. Some history here, where it's dated to the years after 1797. It can be seen on a 2008 Streetview, when it was a closed pub. © David Regan (2021).

St. John the Evangelist (1877) on Portland Road, Butler's Hill. Another view. SK 5408 4842. Both © David Regan (2021). Link1. Link2.

St. Mary Magdalene on Ogle Street is of Saxon foundation. Another view. SK 5335 4938. Both © David Regan (2021). Link. Grade II* listed.

The former St. Peter on Watnall Road, Hazel Grove, a mission of 1892 (source). Closing in 1962, it's now in use as a community centre. SK 5331 4890. © David Regan (2021).

St. Peter and St. Paul on Ruffs Drive. It's dated here to 1966. SK 5200 4818. © David Regan (2021). Link.

United Methodist Free Church on Peveril Street. It's dated here to 1876-7. It was active until the 1970's at least, as the National Archive references documents up to 1973. SK 5311 4963. © David Regan (2021).

U.R.C. is a modern extension (2002) of the Congregational Chapel on Hazel Grove, of 1895 (2014 Streetview here) onto Farleys Grove. The church website explains that it was a mission from the Congregational on Portland Road (for which, see above). SK 5319 4831. © David Regan (2021).

The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel (1880-1) on Watnall Road is now in commercial use. SK 5355 4918. © David Regan (2021). It was preceded by an earlier chapel of 1846 on Chapel Street (source). Chapel Street ran just west of south from High Street, and it can be seen here on a 2015 Streetview. The chapel stood on the right-hand side of the street, about where the B&M store stands today. SK 5341 4929.

The former Wesleyan Reform Chapel of 1906, on Annesley Road. SK 5334 4946. © David Regan (2021). Link.
