Origins of Gotham Street Names
Chapel Close
The Nottingham Road Wesleyan Chapel was built in 1881. It replaced a previous smaller Wesleyan Chapel on Curzon Street. After initial great popularity, congregation numbers began to decline and the Nottingham Road building ceased to be used as a place of worship in 1965. After various commercial uses it was demolished in May 2001 in preparation for the subsequent housing development.
Five houses were constructed by the property developers Blue Track of Loughborough during 2002-3. Four houses having the Chapel Close address, leaving a fifth property with access from Curzon Street.
