Jubilee Chapel and the relevance of the rescue work
Jubilee Chapel Centre was built around 1870, and acquired by Liverpool City Mission in 1940. It operated as Head Office and Rescue Centre up until 1997, when the Mission acquired city centre premises for its café and bookshop, at which time the head office relocated to these premises and the Chapel remained in operation as a Rescue Centre.
