Broad Street Wesleyan Church, Former Methodist church in Nottingham, England
Broad Street Wesleyan Church is a four-story brick building with classical architectural features including large arched windows and a symmetrical facade on its main front. The interior was later adapted for new purposes while preserving the distinctive external structure that defines the streetscape.
The building was designed in 1839 as a Methodist place of worship for a growing congregation. Through the 20th century, the structure adapted to new uses as religious practices and community needs evolved.
William Booth, who later established the Salvation Army, experienced his religious conversion at this location during Reverend James Caughey's visit in 1844.
The location is easily accessible and sits in a central area of Nottingham with good transport connections. Visitors should note that it now serves as a public venue for events and cultural activities throughout the year.
A musical instrument that was originally installed in the building was transferred to the University of Nottingham in the early 20th century. It remains there in a prominent hall and can be heard during public concerts.
