Langley Mill Central Methodist Chapel
replied on: 2/18/2007 5:22:08 PM

Just been to Langley Mill and had a look at the Chapel -there is no chapel name "etched in stone"- but had a look at the foundation stones -going from left to right facing the chapel there are 3 on each side of what was the main entrance -all dated August 28th 1886- Rev. Durance Kimberley, Mrs Pepper Kimberley, Mr M. Watson Langley Mill, Mr E. Knowles Langley Mill, Mrs Banks Derby, Thos. Bayle Notting(-probably Thos Bayley-the end part of this stone is obliterated by a brick wall) I thought there were more stones up the side of the building on Gladstone Street (remember reading them when awaiting the Chapel being opened, but the wall is now rendered part way up, so there is no sign of them.
The Schoolroom was demolished some years ago and is now a car park. Next door on Gladstone St, what was Sissons Builders is still a factory ,but the building which used to come to the start of the pavement, now is further back (about a cars length). The flat (with the rickety iron staircase) which was built partly over Sissons, is no more-hence the first house on the chapel side of the road is numbered 1A.

I agree with Robert, Aldercar gates would be the Railway crossing gates below the Durham Ox.
