Methodist New Connexion Chapel Boston Street Hulme

New Chapel for the Methodist New Connexion.—On Saturday last the foundation-stone of a new chapel for the Methodist New Connexion was laid by Mr. Theophilus Jackson.  …. The site is in Boston-street, Hulme, adjoining the Sunday and day schools which were erected for that district three years ago. The congregation formerly worshipped in the chapel Peter-street (now the Alexandra Hall), but the new edifice will be much more commodious and convenient. The internal dimensions will be 63 feet long by 40 feet wide, and it will be brick building, with Yorkshire stone dressings. The chapel is intended to accommodate seven hundred and eighty people. Messrs. Shaw and Webster, of Manchester, are the architects. The contract for the whole of the works when complete, exclusive the heating apparatus, has been undertaken Mr. Thomas Clay, of Audenshaw, at a cost of £2,430.
