Albert Street (Wesleyan Methodist) Church was built in 1907, replacing a mission room in Victoria Street. The mission was originally known as 'East End'. Since Park Street was the parent body, its records include much material for Albert Street until the early 20th century. Albert Street Church was closed in 1968.
The Wesleyan Methodist church was formed in the 18th century from religous societies founded by John Wesley and his preachers. It suffered many secessions, but was the largest Nonconformist denomination in the 19th century. In 1932 the Wesleyan Methodists joined with the Primitive Methodists and the United Methodists to form the Methodist Church of Great Britain.
