London, England/london3-207
Previous | Home | NextThe old road survives and is now called Morning Lane. A rail line has been built just north of Morning Lane which exists today. (Proceeding westward from Hackney, this rail company, the Silver Line, reaches Highbury and Islington, which is served by the Victoria Line of the London Underground [subway] which proceeds on to the main stations King's Cross and St. Pancras.) A New Gravel Pit Chapel was built 250 meters south in 1809, to which the Unitarian congregation migrated; this church was rebuilt in 1858, and then was torn down in 1970 and the property was redeveloped for apartment buildings; only the cemetery remains. Meanwhile, the (old) Gravel Pit Chapel was taken over by a Congregational group who moved on to another site in 1871; eventuallly the area became indutrial and the (old) Gravel Pit Chapel structure is now a shoe factory.
