Notes:

1.  In 1884, the Trustees of the Howard Street Wesleyan Church wanted to move to a bigger building. The new building opened in 1891, paid for by Joseph Robinson, a shipping magnate who worshipped with the Wesleyans. He wanted it to be built in memory of his late daughter Elizabeth Amy. Three years after signing the deed, he died suddenly aged 74; his wife died a year later. Their sons honoured the contract and made sure the church was built. Dwindling congregations in the 1950s forced the closure of the church, which was taken over by the Byker Mission in 1981 at a cost of £25,000.

2.   For many years this was run by the Radio Reverend Frank Wappatt, after he opened the building in 1981. It was known as the Frank Wappat Church Centre, Albion Road, and was a branch of the Byker Mission. Originally 1000 people attended the non-denominational church services but this dwindled because of parking restrictions. In the end, the church was sold. It is now Kiki’s Kabin, a soft play area and café.
