Description: | The first Church in Chopwell, St John's was restored by Consett Iron Works in 1895 and the present St John's was built, largely by volunteer labour in 1907. Chopwell became a parish in its own right in 1916. Methodism was strong in Chopwell. In 1900 a wooden chapel was built between Wansbeck Street and Tay Street. It was replaced in 1908 by a larger building capable of 750 people. This is now the only chapel in Chopwell. The Primitive Methodist chapel, built 1923, is now a haulage contractors. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.asaplive.com/Lco/Lco.cfm?ccs=629&cs=2674&Preview=1 | Publisher: | Gateshead Council | Subjects: | Methodist Churches and Chapels | Temporal: | name=Edwardian; start=1901; end=1910; | Source: | iSee Gateshead | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
