Ebenezer Primitive Methodist chapel in Grimsby was built in 1871. The 1881 Primitive Methodist magazine tells us that the chapel was enlarged ten years later by the addition of “a commodious schoolroom, ten classrooms and a chapel-keeper’s house.”

The chapel  became known as New Clee in 1950.

Ebenezer Chapel was demolished in 1968-69 and Grimsby’s first Asda supermarket was built on the site.  It was near the corner of Mangle Street.  Can anyone locate it precisely?

  • Wow it looks so nice, what a beautiful looking organ. I wonder what the tablets on the wall said?

  • I was baptised here in May 1955. The site is now Ramsden’s furniture store. I have no idea why this was the chosen place other than my paternal grandparents lived in Weelsby Street

  • There was a fire in the chapel. Later demolished, it was on the corner of Cleethorpe Road and Mangle Street. Asda built a store on it. We used to play football in Asda’s car park as kids. We also played inside the chapel when it was fire damaged, under the stage was full of water.

  • My sister and myself were both baptised at this church as we lived in Thorold St. I’m sure that the church hall backed onto Thorold St.

    I always thought there had been a fire there which is why it was demolished.
