The Albion Congregational Church was a historic church building located on Sneinton Road in Nottingham, England. It was built in 1856 and is recognized as a Grade II listed building. This means it's an important historical site that needs to be protected.
A Look Back: The Church's Story
The Albion Congregational Church first opened its doors in 1856. It was designed by two architects, Thomas Oliver and William Booker.
A few years later, in 1904, the church building was made bigger. They added an extension at the back and a special room for the organ.
In the early 1970s, the Albion Congregational Church joined a new group called the United Reformed Church. Many other Congregational Churches in England did the same thing.
However, by 1986, the church building needed a lot of expensive repairs. The people who went to the church couldn't afford to fix it. So, they decided to join another church nearby, the Dales United Reformed Church in Bakersfield.
After the church closed, the building was used by a group called the Macedon Trust. It became the Albion Night Shelter, helping people who needed a place to stay.
