The Tin Tabernacle
Now an event space and art gallery, going by the name of the Tin Tabernacle.
It dates from 1893 when an "iron church" or "tin tabernacle" was erected on this site at the junction of Stade Street and Portland Road, as a mission church serving the community south of the Royal Military Canal, dedicated to St Michael and All Angels. It closed around 2012 and was bought by its present owners for its new use.

Tin tabernacles
"Tin tabernacles" (or more properly "iron churches") were produced in large numbers from the mid 19th Century into the early 20th Century. They were built with a timber frame, clad with galvanised and corrugated iron, and lined with tongue and groove boarding. Prepared as prefabricated kits, they were also exported to many countries overseas.
