White's 1856 county directory explains that "Here is another Wesleyan Chapel, in Chapel lane, erected in 1842, in lieu of the Chapel at West Bight, which was built in 1827 and sold in 1852 to the Wesleyan Reformers, or Free Methodists, who, in 1855, purchased and enlarged Zion chapel, in Silver street, which formerly belonged to the Huntingdonians, and was built in 1802". It has subsequently had a number of uses, by 1881 it seems to be a Temperance Hall, offered for sale in 1905 then from directories; 1913-1919 Cookery School; 1965 Gardiner & Collis, wholesale carpet warehouse; 1973 architects office of Maurice Palmer and John Holland; 1978 possibly a church again; from 1995 private house. The OS map here appears to show it as flats. The former Co-op, 50 Bailgate, see also
