SALFORD - On Saturday afternoon the foundation stone of a new Sunday-school in connection with the Chapel-street Congregational Chapel, Salford, was laid. The building is to accommodate between 700 and eight hundred scholars. Internally it will consist of a general school-room and class rooms, above which there will be a gallery composed of three tiers of seats. The structure, which will be a plain but substantial one, is to be built of brick with stone dressings. The total estimated cost is £2,300. Mr Henry Fuller of Manchester is the architect and Mr William Brown of Salford the builder. [Building News 12 August 1870 Page 123]
