Wesley hall, Peel Street

Has anyone heard of Wesley hall in Peel Street, Birmingham,

I think it may have been a meeting hall of some kind but i'm not sure.

I have a book from there presented to my grandmother in 1896 from one of their social evenings.
if anyone has any information about it i would be very grateful

thanks

Would that be Peel Street Winson Green? I've seen references to (but no pictures of) a Methodist church there, possibly that replaced the Hall.
 
Hi Lloyd

Yes i think it must be winson green, i've checked old maps and can only assume its winson green.
i've also checked on the net but no luck maybe it might be in one of the directories.
I haen't checked 1:500 maps yet, something else to add to the list at the library.
 
Hi Phillip:

Here's a bit about Peel Street Methodist:- Peel Street, Winson Green chapel was registered for public worship by the Wesleyans in 1878. (fn. 10) There was, however, a chapel on the site in 1855, and the registration of 1878 appears to refer to a new building of which the completion was notified to the Wesleyan Chapel Committee in 1886. (fn. 11) In 1940 this chapel was described as a brick building seating 150, with three ancillary rooms. (fn. 12) The Sunday evening congregation in 1892 was 117 (fn. 13) and church membership in 1932 49. (fn. 14)

This is from the British History Online site.

Hi jennyann

Thanks for taking the time to look up the information, it was much more than i expected. sounds like that was the place for meeting people when there was no television.
i suppose its gone now, i'll have to take a drive up there sometime and see what there is in its place now.

thanks again everyone
