Sheffield Langsett Road Primitive Methodist chapel

89 Langsett Road SHEFFIELD S6 2UJ

Langsett Road Primitive Methodist chapel
Handbook of the Primitive Methodist Conference 1901; Englesea Brook Museum

The Ordnance Survey map of 1905 shows a Methodist chapel with adjacent schools located at the junction of Primrose Hill and Langsett Road, directly below St Bartholomew’s Church.  Appropriately (maybe) it is located next to the police station. It is the only Methodist chapel shown on Langsett Road and I take it to be Langsett Road Primitive Methodist chapel.  Can you confirm this?

Sheffield City Archives hold marriage records up to 1955, so the chapel was in operation at least until then.

The site in 2015 is occupied by flats (number 89 Langsett Road)

Comments about this page

  • Thanks for the update Hugh. It’s surprising how often disappeared buildings still shape the otherwise unexplained current landscape as with the wall in this case.

    The photograph is taken from the original 1901 Primitive Methodist Conference Handbook held by the Museum of Primitive Methodism at Englesea Brook. You are welcome to use it within the Terms of use of this website which allow use for educational purposes and must acknowledge this website and the Museum the source.

    We’d like to add on this page a picture of the wall as it is now or a link to the history site when it appears.

  • A length of the boundary wall visible in this photo stretching up primrose Hill still survives. It has distinctive sculpted capping stones not easily seen in this foreshortened view. I would like to post the above photo with my own of the wall today to a Sheffield history website (and linked social media) and I wonder who I would need to ask for permission to use it?
