Picture taken from:- 'History of Wesleyan Methodism in the Ilkeston Circuit (1909)' by W Smith. Built in 1886-7, replacing an earlier building of 1837. The architect was George Haslam of Ilkeston, and its builder was R F Brown of West Hallam. It closed in 1966 and was subsequently demolished. Nos 140 and 140a, Belper Road were built on the site.

Grateful thanks to Brian Steele for providing this copy.
It was found inside a bible given to him by his Aunt May Wint of the sweet shop, Mapperley in about 1961
