Bethesda Methodist Chapel, Albion Street, Hanley - Stoke-on-Trent, City of (UA)

This former Methodist chapel was built in the C19; it is known as the 'Cathedral of the Potteries' and its interior is practically intact. The Historic Chapels Trust has completed external repairs with the help of grants from Historic England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund: other minor repair works have been undertaken with support from The Friends group. Works to refurbish and install toilets within the detached single storey vestry block were completed in 2019. The Trust is continually looking at various options to increase the use of the building.
