West Street Chapel, Hull - COMPLETED

[rutht22000]

Does anyone have or could find any information about West Street Chapel?

I've found West Street in Hull but cannot find anything about a Chapel there. A lot of my Scotter ancestors were christened there according to familysearch but I seem to have drawn a blank on it, particularly what denomination it was

Thanks

Hi, I believe West Street Chapel was a Primitive Methodist Chapel opened in April 1819.

There's a very short description of it contained within an extract from 'Bulmer's Gazetteer (1892), A History of Kingston on Hull' posted on GENUKI at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/ERY/Hull/HullHistory/HullHistory9.html. (It's a long article, so best to search the page for West Street Chapel ).

The Hull History Centre has copies of some of the chapel records available on microfilm. You can search their online cataloge at http://lib3.adir.hull.ac.uk/dserve/search.htm to see what's available. (Use West Street (Primitive) as the search key).

Regards, Ian.
