Re: Primitive Methodist Chapel, Accrington
 

Hi, quoting information which our member Bob Dobson reseached for his book "An Accrington Mixture" - page 89 states - KING'S HALL, the actual date this former Methodist Chapel opened does not appear to have been recorded in the local press. All I can find is that Methodism appeared mid 1800's and that for whatever reason, a new church was built in Whalley Road in 1928. This closed in 1983, the vets being on the same site.

This is the Kings Hall, aka Bugut, Flea Pit, Ranch, they showed that many westerns, they had to close once a month to pick all the lead out of the walls.

Hi folks – interesting thread you started Mrs B!

The photo of the Primitive Methodist Chapel (c/o Atarah #21 ) looks like it is situated opposite Britcliffe Row inWhalley Road.

Take a look at the interesting link below of the Britcliffe Family history.
There is photograph which shows Britcliffe Row with the corner of the above Church wall #21 in the foreground.

THE HERBERT BRITCLIFFE MEMORIAL GENEALOGY WEBSITE

There is a later picture of Britcliffe row here:-

WHALLEY ROAD. - Accrington Gallery

Note that the Church wall is different and also there is a gas street lamp.

Perhaps the Britcliffes funded the building of one of the Chapels?
