Broad Street Presbyterian Church is a Grade II listed former Presbyterian church, and later Second Church of Christ Scientist, on Broad Street, Birmingham, England. [1]
The foundation stone was laid on 24 July 1848 by Charles Cowan MP [2] and the church opened in 1849. Some restoration work was undertaken in 1859. [3]
By the early 20th century, the church was not prospering, and in 1914 there was a proposal to turn it into a cinema. [4]
In 1929 the building was acquired by the Second Church of Christ Scientist. Since closure it has been used as a nightclub. [5]
The church had a pipe organ by Brindley and Foster. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. [6]
