A former chapel in Sopwell Lane dating from the late 18th/early 19th century. It was originally a Primitive Methodist Church and subsequently used by the Baptists as a Mission Room for Dagnall Street Baptist Church (see Image), and was marked as a Mission Hall on large scale maps from 1880 to 1924. It was subsequently used from 1934 to 2003 by the St Albans City Band as its rehearsal rooms. It has recently been restored as a house, named The Old Band Hall, in recognition of its former use. Locally listed.
