My parents were married at this Wesleyan Methodist chapel in 1924. It is described on their marriage cert,. as Wesleyan Chapel, Hounds Hill & Adelaide Street, Blackpool and Joseph Whitehead was the 'Authourised person for the aforesaid Chapel' I would be certainly interested in obtaining a photo of the chapel, as it was in the 1920s if anyone should have one.

Henry, I have found a modern day picture of the Church, will send this as an attachment. If anyone wants a copy, just email. I will have a look through my old pictures of Blackpool for the older building. The old Church building was a typical Methodist style building. Olive
