Original Wesleyan Methodist Church North Street
North Street Wesleyan Methodist church was built in 1871 and was part of the Luton Wesleyan Circuit The chapel was on the other side of the street and virtually opposite the later chapel. It cost £500 to build. In 1880 the chapel joined the newly formed Waller Street Wesleyan Circuit.
By the 1913 the decision had been taken to sell the old chapel which was “no longer suitable” and there was the “necessity of providing a more commodious building”. The average attendance at services was then 250 people, there being 141 members and the chapel could seat 350 so there were evidently plans to proselytise and greatly increase the number of the congregation.
The TG Hobbs photo shows a plaque above the door saying the building date as 1870.
