This brown commemorative plaque records: Oxford Street. Known as Chapel Street before its renaming in 1908, this thoroughfare was the first direct link between the sulphur well in Low Harrogate and the Chapel of Ease of 1749 (later rebuilt as Christ Church) in High Harrogate. Its principal buildings were the Wesley Chapel of 1862, Belle Vue (home of the remarkable Captain Thrush) of 1826, the Old Ship Inn, and the Grand Opera House (now the Harrogate Theatre) of 1900. These present offices for the Halifax Building Society (architects Jackson & Calvert) were completed in 1987, replacing an 1860's villa (possibly built as a manse to the Wesley Chapel) on the same site. Recorded plaque organisation: Harrogate Borough Council.
