The lodge and the old Congregational church
Church-goers in Portishead were forming a Congregation from the 1830s and slowly built a church on West Hill. That became insufficient and a new church was needed; this site on Woodhill Road (now Cabstand/Nore Road) was chosen, right next to the existing lodge (left of shot).
Architects Wills and Voisey of Bristol were appointed, as was talented builder Mr W. Bennett, and they created the large and impressive Union Congregational church we see today. The foundation stone was laid on 9th December, 1875 and the church cost £3,344.
Sadly the costs of running the church and a dwindling congregation forced the authorities to sell it in 2010. It was converted into residential use.

A view of the old Congregational
A large and impressive church was built at the top of Cabstand in 1887. It served the Union Congregational movement until it was part of the United Reformed Church, finally closing its doors in 2012 and becoming a residential property.
Note the many solar panels and the open top of the roofspace over the circular window.

Former Church - Portishead
This Church has now been converted into a number of apartments - hence the solar panels and the dormer windows.

East window of the old church
The former Union Congregational church was built in 1877 and has particularly ornate appearance for a relatively small sect. The east window is a prime feature.

Signs at the junction with the A369. In the nineteenth century this spot was at the water's edge before the dock was built.
