Traffik Street Chapel, Derby
« on: Wednesday 04 August 04 12:44 BST (UK) »
Hi

One of my ancestors was a Methodist Minister who used to preach at the Traffick Street Chapel, Derby, during the mid 1800's. I am interested to find out more about this chapel.

So far I have a couple of photographs from Derbys 'Picture the Past' site, but other than these, can find no other information.

For instance, in his will my ancestor has spelt Traffick with a 'k' and not a 'c', so was it originally spelt this way? He was a literate man who wrote a book in his time, so I do not think this was mis-spelling.

Any other info/pictures or general thoughts on this building would be truly welcome.

With thanks

Sorry to reply so long after your posting, but the following may be of interest.

I presume that the chapel was that of the Congregationalists, which was sited on the junction of Traffic Street & London Rd. It was built in 1846-48 by Henry Isaac Stevens, with a large Corinthian portico.

The chapel was converted into the Coliseum cinema & subsequently demolished to make way for a traffic island.

Hello Winto
I imagine you have the information you need about Traffic Street Chapel - there is still a smallish chapel on Traffic Street now converted to commercial use, but don't know which denomination it used to be.

Bulmer's Directory 1895  says it's a Primitive Methodist Chapel.
