Christian Messenger 1908/89
The first chapel to be built in Audley was in Chapel Lane. The Sunday School was built here also in 1875 and this building remains today now converted into two houses.
The 1896 building closed in the 1970s because it became unsafe and was finally pulled down in 1973. On that site today stands Tesco Express.
