Primitive Methodist Chapel, Accrington

[Mrs B]

I wondered if anyone could tell me where this is/was?

I am looking for the Chapel that would have been in existence in 1871.

I am wondering if it was the one that was demolished/replaced on Whalley Road - but I could very well be wrong.

Any information/link to picture would be interesting.

Any name? Whalley road is a long one!!

[Mrs B]

No - 'cause my guess at Whalley Road is just that.

I just assumed there couldn't have been that many Primitive Methodist Chapels in Accrington.

But perhaps I should know better - in our village there were three Methodist Chapels (only one Prim though).

And there was me thinking there'd be one or two 150 year old Lancastrians on here, still going strong.

Thanks Ossy Kid.

The linky you put in took me to an invalid file, but I think I tracked the information down - which confirms Whalley Road.

Lancashire OnLine Parish Clerk Project -

Looks like a good place for more historical information for me too.

I remember being connected with the Whalley Road Methodist Youth Club and Amateur dramatic society back in the late'50s early 60's and both were well-attended.
