Thanks in anticipation.

Sorry Maddys52. This one is in Bristol. The one which I am looking for was in Peasedown St John.
Thanks anyhow. RJ

It says of the "first church":  :-\
"It was in fact older than that, being erected in 1874 at Peasedown St John, Somerset and enlarged in 1876."

It would seem that we are not talking about the same building. In fact the original Tin Church at Peasedown St John (the original Parish Church building) was in fact transported to Bristol in around 1894; and not the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel building which I am interested in.

The Wesleyan Chapel (tin tabernacle) was probably erected around the turn of the century and lasted until about 1960.
Different building , different site.
Thanks for your interest maddys52.
