LIVERPOOL. A public meeting was held on Monday evening in the new Tabernacle in Belmont Road belonging to the Welsh Congregationalists, the opening services in connection with which I took place on. Saturday and Sunday.  Referring to the spacious premises which they had erected at the rear of the chapel, Mr Thomas said that they intended these premises as a rallying point for the young people, where they would find periodicals and newspapers at their disposal every day of the week. The new Tabernacle is a handsome structure, built in the Gothic style, of red Ruabon brick with red Rainhill stone dressings. It has sitting accommodation for about 450 people, and in connection with the church are the minister's and the ladies' vestries. At the rear are the lecture halls and other vestries, and also classrooms, library, and offices. The large lecture hall has sitting accommodation for 360 people. The contract work has been executed by Messrs J. and G. Chappell from the designs of Messrs Richard Owens and Sons, architects; the total cost being £5,000. [North Wales Express 11 May 1906 page 6]
