Here's another Welsh Chapel built in 1863 in Chapel Rd, Garston by the same architects of the Toxteth "cathedral", the Audsley brothers. This time on a simpler scale. Both churches belonged to what was to become known as the Presbyterian Church of Wales. They also built a mission room , Bethel, in Canterbury St, Garston. The latter building was demolished in the late 1940s.
Whilst there were many Welsh people in Garston in the mid 19th C, the growth of the Bibby's Copper Works on Blackburne St and later also the Crown Copper Works on Window Lane, led to a further influx of Welsh workers and their families.
