Abstract: |
Stoke-on-Trent Archaeology carried out an archaeological building recording on the former Wesleyan Methodist chapel, Botteslow Street, Hanley. The Level 2 standard building recording was carried out on the 14th April 2010. The chapel was a Gothic-style building built in 1906, replacing a prefabricated corrugated-iron chapel erected in 1880. Both the iron chapel and its replacement were constructed at a time of growth in population in the Potteries generally and more particularly in non-conformist congregations. The surveyed chapel comprised a principal room, probably with seating facing a pulpit at the south-west end. Ancillary rooms at the rear of the building provided space for meetings, Sunday school classes and social gatherings, supplementing facilities already provided in the adjacent Sunday school building, built 1890. Later modifications to the building were probably carried out during the occupancy of a storage and removals company. The principal room was subdivided into a number of smaller units and a first-floor was inserted above. Access to the building was also improved with the removal of a porch on its north-west side. |
