Later it became auction rooms and was eventually demolished. There is a picture . Another later Wesleyan Chapel was built on the site of Brougham Place (where my ancestors lived in 1890!) in around 1913, this was on that part of South Road which later became part of Newgate Street. Hope this helps. -- Helen Oram
