Genuki mentions a Gospel Hall o
n Black Mill Road/Manor Park Road, and gives a grid reference of TM 50574 76300. The property at the junction of the roads in 2009 (the only visit from Streetview) are a house (which looks to have some age) on the east side, and on the west side, residential garages. No maps available to me show the hall, but the grid reference suggests it stood where the house is now. However, the map on the Genuki page suggests it stood half way along Manor Park Road. Immediately east of the house is a potential surviving candidate (Streetview 2009). Can you confirm exactly where the Gospel Hall was?
