About FBC

The National Inventory rates FBC Regional, one of 450 in O'Connell Street. FBC dates from 1835–1895. 261 other places on the record stand within 400 m.

Formerly known as Great and Little Mary Street, Abbey Street derives its name from Saint Mary’s Abbey, whose extensive lands covered most of the northeast of the city. Formed in 1828 by the Wide Streets Commissioners, the street had become the home of three Nonconformist chapels by the 1840s.

Questions about FBC

Is FBC on the National Inventory?

Yes: rated Regional (record 50010289).

Can you visit FBC?

It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.

When was FBC built?

Its National Inventory record dates it to 1835–1895.

Is FBC protected?

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
