Description
This church appears to have started in Wapping Street before moving to Reay Street in 1888. The mission was opened in 1888, seated 200, and probably closed in 1947, the area being redeveloped soon after.
It may also be the same as the Heron Street Mission listed in directories of the period, as Heron street was adjacent to Reay Street.
