Dudley local Council or whoever

[peterd]

Right i need some local knowledge and help here, on the intersection between kings st and new mill st there is a waste bit of ground behind advertising board !!? and i noticed that on my last visit it is actually an old graveyard thats over grown. there looks like a possible entrance oopposite ye old foundry pub in new mill street ?

question is can any local, do any digging around and find out how to get access to the site ? as ive book my anual jaunt (san will be pleased ) and it might be worth seeing and trying to photograph whats left?


so any help would be appreciated

Is it this one

I have a 1901 Map of Dudley, From what i can see there was a chapel off King St,and New Mill Street ,with a school just behind. It looks like it was a Methodist chapel. I would be very interested in what you find out Pete as my g grandfather and grandfather lived in Abberley st which is close by Dt

I'll try to have a look next time I'm in town Pete (possibly this afternoon).
The gravestones were transcribed by the BMSGH years ago, I helped to do it, but can't remember how we got in!

Have just driven past - there is a door opposite the Foundry (well, a big piece of hinged plywood), but it is padlocked. Could not see any other way in.

have you checked on Dudley archives list of holdings they may have already had
the graves transcribed or the MIs done

[linell]

Apparently Dudley do have Kings Street Wesleyan Chapel on their list of holdings according to the NA:-

See the post about 2 above - I helped do the transcription of the MIs about 25 years ago for the BMSGH: were they ever published?

Do you rember the Church Steve? I read how it had it's own Caretakers House in one of the Turrets & a huge Day Room!

I vaguely remember , but never went into it so not sure about anyone living there.

[linell]

LOL I presume the 'living there' was before our time Steve, the notes I read, can't remember where I found them, Google I would think, made it sound all very grand. Linell.
