In 1851 this building was occupied by ”Wesleyan Methodists temporarily worshiping apart from the Conference”. It had been fitted up as a place of worship for about six weeks having previously been a carpenter’s shop. [This wording suggests a recent secession and hence that this congregation were Reformers rather than Association] The chapel had 40-45 free sittings and 130 others. William street was on the north side of East India Dock Road. This occupancy was brief. By 1855 a new chapel qv, had been built in Bath Street on the south side of East India Dock Road.
