Primitive Methodist Chapel. Two cuttings, a photograph  from the 'Weekly Illustrated' dated January 18.1936 and a report on the laying of the foundation stone from the Felling Gazette of 1884



The Primitive Methodist Chapel was built next to Wardley Infant School and its opening service was held in August 1884. Behind the chapel is Reservoir Street and on its right, Third Street. The Chapel was only licensed for Baptisms. Many Colliery Methodists went to be married at the Primitive Methodist Chapel at Wellfield Terrace, Bill Quay (Cromwell Court, a sheltered accommodation is now on the site). Bill Quay Primitive Methodists moved from Brack Terrace Chapel (this building later became a library until it moved when a new one was built at Pelaw). The Wellfield Terrace was new and larger and was formerly built as a social club but the membership could not sustain the costof the building. The social club went on to be the Pelaw Working Men's Social Club.

When most of the colliery Village was demolished, Wardley Chapel held its last service on Sunday September 2 1956 and then moved to new premises at Thorne Avenue on the Ellen Wilkinson Estate. The old Chapel had served the Wardley community for 72 years.
