...Moulsecoomb Baptist Church? St George's Hall Church? See Moulsecoomb para in Collis (2010). Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 21:53, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

St George's Hall (ex-Anglican) is now New Life Church. 1954 OS Map suggests Salvation Army hall at Hodshrove Road/Moulsecoomb Way jn. Baptist Church: site of Leisure Centre apparently. Maybe thery are the same? Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 08:22, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stretton Hall

Joseph Harris Stretton was a major landowner in Aldrington parish in the late Victorian era. Was it named after him? Ref? Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 13:33, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kingston Gorse

The parish church of Kingston Gorse was swallowed by the sea in about 1630. Perhaps it deserves an entry (though an accurate gridref will be a problem). --Pfold (talk) 17:42, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bear Road Mission Church

The ESRO has parish registers for a "Bear Road Mission Church", 1900-1908. Can't find this on maps. --Pfold (talk) 12:03, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This may have been the building which became St Alban's church hall after the church itself was built. It (the church hall) was built in about 1900 and the church itself was started in 1910. (The church hall is still standing, albeit not in religious use now.) Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 20:54, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Goldstone Gospel Hall

Does Middleton or any other source have anything about the Gospel Hall on Goldstone Street (1914–1971)? Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 12:57, 5 June 2018 (UTC) – nothing in Middleton. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 20:42, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

MBPC

Likely "backwards copy"...

...only of one sentence, though, so I will not use the "Backwards Copy" template. One sentence in the Sussex Street Primitive Methodist Chapel blurb has been reused here. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 10:28, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The old Friends Meeting House in Rottingdean

Exact location? Reg 16/01/1909–04/11/1958. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 19:44, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Point of this page?

Aside from putting demolished churches it's really all it is. No mosques synagogues etc have been demolished nor do I see why this page is of importance. It be better mentioned in a list of religious places in the Brighton and Hove city article. DragonofBatley (talk) 14:52, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I fail to see the point of this comment. It is true that no mosques or synagogues have been demolished: therefore they cannot be included in this article. If and when they are, they will be included. In the meantime, it is a comprehensive list of all [Christian] places of worship which have existed but which no longer do... Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 19:37, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So it should be list of churches demolished then not places of worship? Cause that term covers a wider range of places of worship as mentioned mosques synagogues Hindu temples etc DragonofBatley (talk) 09:14, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There's no harm in having a title which is broader than the current contents. I've made a redirect from the plausible alternative title (at present) of List of demolished churches in Brighton and Hove. Many articles have a section on "Places of worship" which may or may not include non-Christian buildings, as well as chapels, Kingdom Halls, Citadels (Salvation Army) and various other places for Christian worship which do not call themselves churches. PamD 11:36, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That is correct: a number of Christian denominations do not use (or indeed, specifically reject) the term "church" for their buildings, so the generic "places of worship" term is correct. Thanks for doing the redirect Pam – I am terrible at remembering to set up redirects! Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 22:44, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
