Full Description

The first Wesleyan Methodist chapel on Skegness High Street was a temporary structure, built in 1837. It was replaced with a permanent building in 1848, at a cost of £105 and with seating for 105. It was rebuilt on the same site in 1876, at a cost of £430. It was closed in 1882 when an even larger chapel opened on Algitha Road (see PRN 48869), and was subsequently demolished. {1}{2} The chapel was located on the south side of the High Street, at its western end. A photograph of the chapel being rebuilt in 1876 was included in Dutton's book on Skegness and its district. It shows the chapel at the end of the High Street, adjacent to Lumley Square, and adjoining 10 High Street; this property is still extant (2014), although somewhat altered. {3}{4}{5}
