Lysanderix Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Years ago ,I went to a re creation of John Wesley’s preaching in Paradise Square and I think it was from that building he gave his sermon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadFarmer Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 From a history talk I attended recently, Paradise Row was built first, and the houses were very prestigious. It initially kept the original name of Workhouse (Rd?) but seeing as the road name didn't reflect how prestigious the houses were, it was renamed Paradise Row. The remainder of the square appeared later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
