List of Salvation Army corps in the United Kingdom in 1900

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At the turn of the century in 1900 the Salvation Army in the United Kingdom was well-established, with corps (Salvation Army term for local churches) all over the country. Here is a list of corps in 1900.

A "circle corps" was a corps which was based in a number of villages, and the officer in charge being responsible for a number of centres which ranged from back kitchens and outhouses, to barns and to actual Salvation Army buildings.

A "Battery" was a horse-drawn cart staffed by two single officers, who were in effect mobile evangelists of their day.
