Small Heath United Methodist Free chapel

Small Heath United Methodist chapel was on the corner of Muntz Street and Wright Street.

The 1888 Ordnance Survey map shows the chapel already in existence, and labels it as a United Methodist Free Churches society.  As well as the chapel at the junction, there was a Sunday school building a little further east on the southern side of Wright Street.

The buildings are both still there on later maps; indeed, by the 1939 map, there is a second Sunday school building behind the first one. In Street View from 2008, the chapel has disappeared, but the original Sunday school still exists, as a nursery. We could do with a picture for this page.

The 1940 Inventory of Methodist buildings records  the chapel as brick built, seating 324 people on pews, and with a Sunday school and 11 other rooms. The Inventory records that the main chapel building had been sold since 1932 and had suffered wartime damage.
