Biographical history
A Wesleyan Methodist church was first built in Poplar on Hale Street in 1807. In 1848 the congregation moved to a new, larger church on East India Dock Road. In 1886 new classrooms and a lecture hall were added to the church. The East India Dock Road church became the headquarters of the Poplar Wesleyan Mission (later the Poplar Methodist Mission). The Methodist Church missions in the East End of London aimed to combat the poverty and squalor of this area with a combination of evangelism and social work. The church was badly damaged by enemy action during the Second World War but was repaired and was used until 1976, when it was closed and the Mission transferred to the former Trinity Congregational Church on the same street.
