Broad Street Wesleyan Chapel was a former Methodist Chapel in Nottingham from 1839 to 1954. The building is now occupied by the Broadway Cinema. ==History== The church was built in 1839 by the architect S. S. Rawlinson.〔Pevsner Architectural Guides, Nottingham. Elain Harwood〕 It had sittings for 1,920 people, and a school room for 400 children. The cost of construction was £9,000 (£}} as of ). It opened on 20 June 1839 when the opening collections were £1,870.〔The Evangelical Register: A Magazine for Promoting the Spread of the Gospel, Volume 11. J.R. Robson, 1839〕 It was the place where, during the visit of Rev. James Caughey in 1844, it is likely that the founder of the Salvation Army, William Booth, was converted. In 1947 the congregation were confronted with the cost of a new roof and dwindling numbers led to closure in 1954. The building was bought by Nottingham Cooperative Society to use as an Educational Centre. Together with the Nottingham and District Film Society the Co-operative Educational Centre opened in 1959. This later became a British Film Institute supported venue, and later the Broadway Cinema. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Broad Street Wesleyan Church」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
