1933c with 1929d behind. The Leigh Salvation Army Hall on Elm Road dates back to before 1901. The present structures look later than that and include this smooth red brick front with memorials of June 3, 1933. In the distance is a child minding centre in the former Peculiar Peoples Chapel. It was dated to 1929 by reference to Kelly’s Directory street logs. It has still biblical texts in front memorial stones and London ashes bricks between red brick side buttresses. There used to be a helpful sign on a house between these Christian buildings, which had a hand pointing to the Elm Road traffic and read “prepared to meet thy God”. Probably it originally was intended to direct people to the Peculiars and has gone since their departure.
