Description: | April 1972. Several changes took place at the Central Methodist Church at the end of the 1960s. This picture shows the Chapel building of 1861. The front is on the right and the back on the left where it can be seen several alterations have been made, to provide the extra accommodation needed that had resulted from the loss of the Sunday School building in Queen Street to the Tesco supermarket in 1968. This picture does not show the full extent of the alterations at the back. The grassed area in the foreground of the picture was originally the Wesleyan Methodist burial ground. It had become very overgrown and so it was decided to move all the gravestones to around the edges, plant bulbs in front of them and then have a path with seats circumventing the old graveyard and link it to the old infants school which had become a day nursery. Blossom trees were planted and flower beds created in the middle of the new Garden of Rest.
