Washwood Heath United Methodist Free Church chapel
I was a regular attendee with my family until c.1974 when the church was demolished. I was married there in 1970 and my first child was christened there in 1972. I am trying to locate a photograph of the church but so far have been unsuccessful. I wondered if you could help?
By the way Washbrook Road in your narrative should be Washwood Heath Road. (Thanks – corrected -CH)

The final service in this chapel was held on 29th September 1940, according to the Society for Lincolnshire History and Archaeology. The First World War memorial from Silver Street was rediscovered and is now in All Saints church in Lincoln. See this page and look for All Saints

The 1940 list marks this as ‘S’, meaning “in use on 1 July 1940, but sold* before the list went to press in or about 1947”
*and presumably, therefore, closed, though this is not spelt out
