RichardB Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Maybe some one can do a then and now with these Very nice stuff, and all I had was a few pages and the Appendices. Thank you, I had the file tucked away, so tucked away I couldn't find it (several Mb's worth), I have lots of stuff that I don't know what it is - maybe time for an Amnesia-thread. Seriouly ~I have lots of scraps of paper with Pub stuff on and I don't honestly know if they are posted or not - every find/entry seems to take an age to check/verify/post - maybe I should start a confusion thread and dump the lot for consideration.

SteveHB Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Very interesting. Now, what can you tell me about this place? Where was/is the Gower Wesleyan Reform Church? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsbyowl1867 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I may be wrong but aren't these two different buildings. They look similar BUT : - The Wesleyan Chapel was at the corner of Chapel Walk and was demolished and replaced with a modern building. The lower photograph looks like the "Upper Chapel" estblished in the 17th Century? for "dissenters"which was also on Norfolk Street across from the old TSB building and in fact is still there!

dunsbyowl1867 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Where was/is the Gower Wesleyan Reform Church? I'd assume it was around Gower Street in Burngreave Steve. The building looks similar to others in the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right Dunsbyowl, I took that photo in 1978 but I didn't realise I was on Gower Street. I was just wandering around Burngreave / Pitsmoor / Firvale at the time taking pictures for posterity. I thought the building looked a bit interesting, but I don't know anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukelele lady Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Maybe some one can do a then and now with these Surely these are not the same buildings?

Darren21 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I have the original book of "Norfolk Street Wesleyan Chapel, Sheffield", 1907, by Alexander Seed. It is a hard back with leather spine and is in good condition for its age (110 years). I would like to sell it and as it is taking up valuable space will bin it if I can't find a buyer. If you are interested in owning this original for your collection then please contact me by email: broadviews21@gmail.com. Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeadFarmer Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 At least we know how Chapel Walk gets its name, running next to so many chapels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
