Hi, Listers I have references to Roker Methodist Church, Sunderland, and Sans Street Methodist Chapel (or Mission?). Are these two churches or one referred to in two ways? It has been suggested to me that Sans Street might have been turned into a cinema. Did that actually happen? Does anyone know, please? Thank you Bruce Dodd, Ottawa, ON

Roker Methodist Church and Sans Street Methodist Chapel are in completely different parts of Sunderland. Roker is north of the river and Sans Steet south of the river. **There were a number of Methodist Chapels north of the river so it is not clear which one you mean by the Roker Methodist Church. The Assembly Rooms in Upper Sans Street became the Pavilion Cinema in 1907, and had been used by the Salvation Army from 1882.

Just to add that what was known as the Sans Street Chapel* was the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, *built 1791-3, High Street/Sans Street.
