This modest building was erected in 1819 by James Bisset to display his museum of curiosities (moved with him from his former museum in Birmingham).
Death
Bisset died in 1832 and the Primitive Methodists (who had been meeting in a room in a Temperance Hall in Clemens St) bought the site and moved there in 1852. They removed the upper floor and converted it into a chapel that was used until 1921 when they moved to the grander Warwick Street chapel.
Since then it has had a varied commercial use as a Co-op, a tool hire company with nightclub above, and is currently a Polish supermarket (downstairs) and Shade’s Gentlemen’s Club upstairs.
