Tadcaster’s former Salvation Army Hall to be auctioned

Salvation Army Hall

The former Salvation Army Hall in Tadcaster is to go up for sale by auction this month with a guide price of £150,000.

On a 0.2 acre site close to the town centre, the 1,400 sq ft hall could be suitable for a range of uses, according to auctioneers at Mark Jenkinson, part of Eddisons, which will auction the building on 28 May in an online sale, along with dozens of other properties and plots of land across the UK. 

Adrian Little, a director at Mark Jenkinson, said: “The hall is in a great location close to the heart of Tadcaster, a thriving community and a sought-after place to live, with easy access to both Leeds and York. 

“Although the property itself is in a good condition and has a well-equipped, modern kitchen, subject to planning it could also represent an exciting redevelopment opportunity, whether for residential or commercial accommodation.”

The hall was not the first religious building on the Chapel Street site, which was previously home to a 17th century Quaker meeting house and in the 19th century a chapel built by the Inghamites, a Christian sect that had followers across the north of England.

Bidding in the online sale opens on 27 May and closes the following day. For more details, viewing and bidding information, visit  www.markjenkinson.co.uk

He has been most fortunate to have sold many landmark buildings throughout the region and is particularly interested in properties that require modernisation, restoration or redevelopment.

Having spent many hours on the rostrum at Bramall Lane, he saw the incredibly successful transition to online auctions seeing some £100m of residential, commercial, agricultural and industrial lots being sold for private, corporate and local authority clients. In March 2023, he joined Eddisons and Pugh & Co to forward this success and continue to offer personal service with a larger national presence .
