In Oakhill Road, almost opposite Image, this chapel is now used as offices. The Railway Mission is a non-sectarian Christian society formed in 1881 specifically for those working on the railways and associated industries http://www.railwaymission.org/. This chapel was built in 1896 and still had a congregation in 1981 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=18357 which is now dispersed.
