Welsh Presbyterian Church David Street, Liverpool

LIVERPOOL. DAVID-STREET WELSH PRESHYTERIAN CHURCH - On Monday night the opening services held all through the week, and the whole of Sunday, in the new Welsh Presbyterian Chapel, David-street, were brought to a close. …… This church is an extension of the Prince's-road Presbyterian Church, and was formed to ease the pressure on that congregation, and to meet the necessities of the members living in the neighbourhood of the Dingle. The edifice is situated on the north side of David- street, Park-road, on the site of the old Pine Apple Inn. The plan is cruciform with nave and transepts, the extreme length inside being 51 feet, width of nave 33 feet, length across transepts 49 feet, transepts 17 feet wide. There is an end gallery over the entrances, and altogether there is seat accommodation for 450 worshippers. The style adopted is a geometrical Gothic, carried out in brick with red stone dressings. The front elevation is divided into a central facade and two wings with porches each side. All the windows have stone tracery, and the ceiling is plastered and intersected by the bearing timber dressed and varnished. The internal woodwork has been carried out in pitch pine, wrought clean and varnished. On the west side of the chapel there are vestries, schoolrooms, and a chapel-keeper's house. It was designed and carried out by Mr Richard Owen, architect, Breck-road, and the contractors were Messrs. Nicholson and Ayre. Mr J. W. Rowlands, Slater-street, attended to the glazing, and Mr Whitaker, of Bolton, supplied the heating apparatus. The total cost of the building £,500, exclusive of land.
