The 1941 Methodist Statistical Return describes School Street as stone built, with 374 seats, one hall and four additional rooms.
The Oxley Place Chapel replaced the School Street Chapel. Oxley Place began when the Wesleyan, Wesley Place Chapel, offered its Sunday School premises in Oxley Place to the former Primitive congregation in 1947.
