I only know because my dad was on the building committee, and was against them using Mount Pleasant. Saying it needed a lot of money spent on it, in the long term, plus it would need an extra church hall, to house the Sunday schools.
He was out voted, because some daft sods thought it was a more pleasing building. Not usually high on a Wesleyan agenda, aesthetics.
Guess my dad was right.
York Street's still standing, unlike the original Mount Pleasant Chapel.
