The Unitarians have four chapels; that in Cross-street, a large brick
building, was destroyed by a mob, in what were called the “Sacheverel
riots,” and parliament voted £1,500 towards its re-erection. There is a
small chapel in Salford, in Dawson’s Croft, Greengate; a large and very
handsome stone-fronted edifice in Bridge-street, Strangeways; and a
beautiful and spacious structure, one of the purest specimens of the
English style of architecture in the town, nearly completed, in Upper
Brook-street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, for the congregation formerly
worshipping in the Mosley-street chapel.
The Swedenborgians have two chapels; one in Peter-street, Manchester, the
other in Bolton-street, Salford. There are seven chapels for the Welsh,
of different denominations; three, severally called “Christ Church,” for
particular denominations of Dissenters; and the Jews have a synagogue in
Halliwell-street.
