1900-1919

The original chapel opened 1805. A new chapel opened 4 Feb 1863.

The Zion whose story we seek ... is no hill with a city on it but a chapel hiding down the dingiest street in all Sheffield . Hidden away at the back right off the main street and only approached by the narrowest of lanes As Canon Sydney Smith used to say 'in all my parishes I have never had a finer or more worthy folk than the people of Attercliffe, but the beggars won't come to Church.' The Sabbath School was probably built 1805-1806 The first Sunday School Anniversary Sermon 25 Jun 1809 (information from: The Gates of Zion by P.G.S. Hopwood 285.8 SST).

The church was demolished soon after a fire in 1987.
