Ponytail Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Thought Queen Street Chapel deserved its own heading. Under the heading Sovreign House, Queen Street as to the origin of Queen Street Foundry, Queen Street, Edmund posted: On 20th June 1783 a 99 year lease at a rent of £5 2s per annum was granted by the Church Burgesses to Thomas Vennor, gentleman and John Read, merchant. On this land in Wade's Orchard, a chapel was built, and opened on 3rd December 1783. It was in a new road which was not yet officially named - it was to be either Fig street or Queen street - the latter prevailed and the chapel became Queen street Chapel. At this time George III was monarch and his queen was Charlotte-Sophia of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Luckily we are left with Queen Street, rather than Mecklenburg-Strelitz Street.
