View of Queen Street Methodist Church, also known as the United Methodist Chapel. The datestone at the centre of the roof balustrade gives a date of 1865. The large stone Chapel, with four Corinthian style columns at the entrace, was built at a cost of ?4,200 and was designed to accommodate a congregation of 1,200. There were two classrooms attached and a further School Room located on the High Street. The organ was presented by Edward Bolton esq. of Manor House, Yeadon in 1870, not long before his death on 12th May that year. The group of children and young people are standing on the pavement of Upper Queen Street. The girls wear pinafores and brimmed hats, except one who has a shawl wrapped around her head and shoulders. Behind the gates of the chapel the property of Woodville is visible where in 1908 the Reverend Charles Greenwood was in residence. Behind the wall on the left was a landscaped ornamental garden belonging to the chapel and constructed in 1907. It had a central road giving access to the High Street. The chapel and gardens were demolished in the 1960s when the extension to Harper Lane was constructed and Hanover House, a complex of flats, now stands on the site of the old chapel. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | United Methodist Chapel Upper Queen Street Queen Street Methodist Church | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
