The 1882 Primitive Methodist magazine (page 761) contains an account of the opening of a new Primitive Methodist chapel at Maidenhead to replace the previous one which was “in a back out-of-the -way court”.
The new building was an “elegant structure in a central and prominent situation.” It cost £1,550 of which half had been raised.

There’s information about the preceding chapel in Bridge Street here.
The Queen Street chapel was located on the east side, just north of the junction with Broadway.
