Description: | In 1806 some men from Windsor opened a Sunday school in Chalvey for Congregationalists and following the 1828 Act which provided relief for church dissenters, the Congregationalist community grew. The chapel was opened in 1833 and in 1840 the first marriage was recorded. In 1852 the Congregationalists moved to Church Street in Slough and the premises in Chalvey were sold to the Primitive Methodists for £225. In 1901 the Methodists moved to new premises in Ledgers Road and the building was subsequently converted into a cinema called the Empire Cinema Palace. By 1932 the building was known as the Chalvey Working Mens Social Club. In 1978 it was occupied by Coopers Off-license and the building has been occupied by a number of different retailers since this date. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Slough Library | Subjects: | Congregational Church Churches | Temporal: | start=1860-01-01; end=1901-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Copy by Reg Harrison | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
