Wesleyan Church, Silverton.

When it opened on 20 January 1886 it was the Silverton Presbyterian Church.

 

However during a strong wind storm in 1891 the Methodist Church building was destroyed, it provided the Presbyterians with a golden opportunity to sell their church building to the Methodists.

 

The sale of the church building proved to be a blessing in disguise for the Presbyterian Minister as it allowed him the opportunity to begin a new career in mining and he apparently became something of an expert in the mining field.

 

He would later leave the mining sector to follow another career path as a journalist and poet.

 

Silverton, New South Wales, Australia.
