Does anybody have any information about the "poverty hall " it was situated in Knuzden and was there before 1850 and after 1881.

Sorry, never heard a thing about this. You could perhaps contact Blackburn Library.

I have a feeling that this could be the Methodist Church.

Nah that was futher up the road towards Blackburn.
The place seems to have been across from the quarry at the bottom of cabin end row.
If you go to mario maps on the Lancashire county council website and view the historical maps you can see it there.
