Bank Street Unitarian Chapel - Bolton
September 2015
Visited Solo during the heritage weekend when a number of buildings were open for the public to visit.
The Chapel was founded in 1672 on Deansgate and moved to Bank Street in 1696. The present building was built in 1856.
The Chapel has a long history of engaging with the world and supporting many progressive causes in the history of Bolton. The first two mayors of Bolton were members of the Chapel. Many members were Suffragettes and trade unionists. The Bolton Whitman disciples met at the Chapel. More recently Fortalice Hostel, Bolton Interfaith Council and Bolton Street Angels can also trace their histories back to Bank Street Unitarian Chapel.
