Your article on St James's Street, Kemp Town (December 29), was interesting to read.

As a researcher of this area I noticed there were a couple of discrepancies worth mentioning.

St James's Chapel was situated in Chapel Street, behind numbers 43-45 St James's Street, with the main entrance between numbers 43-44.

It opened as a chapel in 1813, was rebuilt as a church in 1876 and was demolished in 1950.

The first synagogue in Brighton was in Jew Street and, later, in Poune's Court, off West Street. The third was in Devonshire Place, which opened in 1823 and moved to Middle Street in 1875.

The Unitarians' first chapel was in Cavendish Street in about 1807, before it moved to New Road in 1820.

The first Roman Catholic chapel was in High Street and was built in 1806 and remained there until 1835.

The Methodists also opened their chapel in Dorset Gardens in 1808, rebuilt it in 1884 and did so again but not until 2002.

There were also other religious denominations in the St James's Street area in the 1800s, including the Bible Christians, the Bryanites, the Primitive Methodists and the Baptists.
