I have no good picture but the original church is just visible
on the right hand side of this old postcard view

This sat between Beaconsfield Street  and Arundel Street at the junction of Princes Road.

The history of the church began with congregations from two small chapels in Walnut Street and Prince William Street who combined to worship at the Seamen’s' Chapel on Rathbone Street.  Later they planned and inaugurated the Princes Road Methodist church.

The foundations stone was laid in 1877 but lack of money meant that the church did not open until 1885.

In 1964 the congregation again amalgamated, this time with that of the Lodge Lane Methodist church and together they built a new church on the old site, most famous for the appalling 'crucifixion' sculpture which adorns it.
