Date:1963
Description:In the centre of the picture is No. 8, Chapel Street, Stafford, the former home of the Methodist Minister to the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel next door, which was designed by Manchester architects, Hayley & Son. Pevsner called the 1863 chapel, designed in the basilica style - very remarkable - but it having an unfortunate tower. Christopher Wakeling said "it is the street's best feature!" Later, the Minister's residence was moved to Brunswick Terrace off the Newport Road. On the left is W. Wood & Son Ltd., grocers, eventually used by County Supplies also called County Woodware. All these buildings were demolished in the 1980s, apart from the chapel's tower which is now bordered by the redundant indoor market buildings on both sides (2025). Note the different types of television aerials which were necessary at the time to obtain the BBC and ITV channels.
