Albion Congregational Church

Albion Congregational Church stands on Sneinton Road in Nottingham. Built in 1856, it was designed by Thomas Oliver and William Booker. The church served as a major Congregational chapel in Sneinton for many years. In the early 1970s it joined the United Reformed Church. After closing for worship in 1986, the building fell into disuse. In the early 2000s it was converted into flats. The church is now a Grade II listed building. Its conversion into 24 self-contained flats was completed in 2004. The work was carried out by Framework Housing Association with Allan Joyce Architects. The building now operates as New Albion, providing supported accommodation. The original features remain visible in the converted spaces. Visitors see a former church turned into modern flats. The rear extension and organ chamber from 1904 are still present. The Grade II listing recognises its architectural importance. The building’s history is evident in its layout and design. The conversion blends old and new elements carefully. The street setting in Sneinton adds to its character.
