FRIDAY 21st MAY, 1886

The South Cliff Wesleyan Church

This, the latest addition to the places of worship in the town, is now rapidly approaching completion, and so far as the exterior is concerned, it may almost be said that the work is accomplished. The spire has just been finished and surmounted by a weather vane of highly ornamental design, and a lightning conductor.

The vane, which has been fixed by Mr. William Slater, of Bradford, is of an entirely new pattern.

(later removed by the Fire Brigade for safety reasons during the 1990s)

he New Wesleyan Chapel, South Cliff.

This place of worship is near completion, It will be opened early in July.

Instead of the usual 'covering in" supper, the trustees of the chapel invited all the workmen and contractors engaged in the erection of the building to a substantial tea on Thursday evening last, in the schoolroom adjoining the Chapel. About 100 persons were present. After tea the Rev. R. Culley, Messrs. Calvert, Tonks, Qakey, S. N. Smith (trustees), and Councillor Peacock (contractor) gave short addresses. Mrs. Lovett. the Misses Shaw. Finton, Druce, and Mr. R. Clough gave songs. Mr. F. Brown presided at the pianoforte. A vote of thanks to the ladies for presiding at the tea tables, and to all who had taken part, brought a very pleasant evening to a close.
