Details: The local Congregationalists used to hold services in what was known as the Long Room, then occupying a portion of the site on which Howard Smiths building in Watt Street now stands. At a later date the place of meeting was changed to the old Court House which stood on the site now occupied by the General Post Office. No record is available dealing with the actual building of the Brown Street Church, which was carried out probably about 1853. It seems to be common knowledge that two sites were offered by the Australian Agricultural Company to the little band of Congregationalists, then known as Independents - that which is now occupied by the Australia and New Zealand Bank at the corner of Hunter and Brown Streets, and that upon which the church now stands. Lest we of a later generation should fall into the error of questioning the wisdom of the choice made by the pioneers of Brown Street, it should be clearly understood that one hundred years ago the site which was rejected was not above flood level.

Details: The commencement in New castle of the Congregational Church, which will celebrate Its 81st anniversary on Sunday, is shrouded in mystery. It is probable that a few Congregationalists met together in a house for some years before public services were commenced. The first definite date in the history of the Brown-street church is 1851. Twelve years later searchers found a resolution in the church minutes thanking the Colonial Congregational Home Missionary Society for the liberal support it had given the church from the time it had sent a minister in 1851. In August, 1853, Rev. John Gibson was sent to Newcastle by the Home Missionary Society, equipped with a Bible, a hymn, book, a horse and a saddle. The purpose of the visit, was to preach here and obtain information with a view to establishing an Independent cause. Four months after his arrival, Mr. Gibson started collecting money to pay for the erection of a place of worship. As a result, the northern part of the Brown-street church was built. The work was begun probably in 1855, but delay was caused by the insolvency of the first contractor, and by the decision to build a school hall underneath the church. OPENED IN 1856 The official opening services were held on Wednesday, September 28, 1856. Though not architecturally ambitious, the church building has a bold exterior and a dignified interior, which the years have enriched and hallowed Contributions and promises amounting to £215 were gathered to reduce the manse debt in 1868. In the list of contributors was the Duke of Edinburgh, who visited Newcastle that year. Regular morning and evening collections and the weekly offerings by envelope were introduced, and this system still constitutes the backbone of the church s finance. Another progressive move was made in 1868, when the old oil lamps were replaced by gas. To celebrate its 81st anniversary, the Brown-street Congregational Church will hold special services on Sunday. The preachers will be Rev. Joan Hore in the morning, and Rev. Absalom Deans at night. There will be an anniversary dinner in the school hall on Thursday.

Details: ANDREW SMIDMORE BROWNE was born in 1844 in Singleton-both his parents being natives of New South Wales-and was educated in Singleton and at the Sydney Grammar School under Mr. W. I. Stephens. On leaving school he went to the Richmond River, where he learned surveying. After spending five years in the field he undertook the management of Pullamung Station, his father s property, and on the occasion of this gentleman s death in 1881, retired from active business life to devote the whole of his time, energies, and a very large amount of his fortune to the furtherance of the temperance cause. He has lectured to this object with astonishing success throughout the northern districts, establishing lodges in every town and village, and increasing the number of Good Templars in the northern district from 500 to upwards of 10,000. He is now general deputy of New South Wales and Fiji, and the possessor of over fifty addresses given him by the various lodges. One of these is of a very handsome and eulogistic character from the Grand Lodge. Each year Mr. Browne deposits X500 in the bank, which sum is exclusively used as a means of furthering the good cause. Mr. Browne is a member of the Hospital Committee, has been a justice of the peace for the last fifteen years, and was elected an alderman of West Maitland in 1885
