the former Hainton Primitive Methodist chapel, Grimsby
Primitive Methodist Conference Handbook 1899
When the Primitive Methodist Conference was held in Grimsby in 1899, Hainton Street chapel – ” a most imposing place, in one of the finest neighbourhoods” – was the Conference base.
The chapel was built in 1870, but the whole scheme was not completed until three years after in 1873. . It seated around 900 people and closed in 1956. It was replaced by Hainton House, a commercial block which in 2015 has several of its retail units unused.
The chapel’s Manse was in Eleanor Street. The site in 2015 is occupied by the Salvation Army hostel.
