When the chapel in Oldham Street was demolished, it was replaced by the Methodist Central Hall (which housed the Manchester and Salford Wesleyan Mission).
The objective of the mission was simple: to help anyone in Salford and Manchester who required aid and to try to give these people a better quality of life.
The Methodist Mission had eight workplaces, and weekly services at the chapels for men and women who struggled to find faith and a better life.
T. Brian Castle was employed at the Great Bridgewater Street Centre, and helped to develop one of the most successful missions in that part of the town.
The Manchester and Salford Wesleyan Methodist Mission helped those in need to be forgiven of their sin and to have faith in God.
The Food Depot helped feed the poverty-stricken residents of Manchester and Salford who were victims of the Industrial Revolution.
