Corstophine Town
Date: 1856 · Place: South Shields, County Durham · Type: Local well
A flood-tide of revival power swept hundreds into the kingdom during the autumn and winter of 1856-7 and compelled the erection of a new chapel and schools at Corstorphine Town in 1859. Here a mighty society was raised, and such a band of local preachers and officials as few places anywhere possessed.
