The Annals of Tipton website tells us that in 1836 the Methodist New Connexion built a chapel in Canal Street which was in between Owen Street and New Cross Street. In 1856 they built Regent Street Tabernacle in Princes End, with an interior in the form of an amphitheatre. The building cost around £1,300. It was demolished in 1929. In 2020 the site is occupied by Mount Horeb Pentecostal church.
Ordnance Survey maps from 1884 show the chapel in place and the footprint does not change over time until it was demolished. The 1938 map shows the no building where the chapel was – except the rear of the former building remains with the same footprint and is labelled Sunday school. Intriguingly, 2022 satellite pictures show a building on the Sunday school site with exactly the same footprint. Is it the former building?
They also had a Mission Room at Conygre and a chapel at Tividale.
