Identify a church please
« on: Friday 06 February 09 16:06 GMT (UK) »
I believe this picture is of Boundary Road Baptist Chapel (1876).  My great great aunt was married here in 1884.  I located it from Kelly's street directory.  Does anyone know any more history about it and its current use

Looking at this

it doesnt look like it is a Baptist Church now.

I would contact the Baptist Union

http://www.baptist.org.uk/

to see what they have

Thanks lizdb
I was fairly sure it was no longer a Baptist Church and it certainly seems like it is a Hebrew Congregation meeting place now.

 I will try he Baptist Union next

Thanks again for your help
