My aunt, now 92, used to worship in the Chapel and confirmed tonight it was the Bethel.

Don't suppose your aunt remembers when they stopped worshipping at the chapel?
You're right about the reservoir, it was between the end of Princess street and Hyndburn road, where the fire station and Lidl are now accordiing to the 1890 map.
