Built in 1803, on the 4th October 1804, the Birch Meadow Chapel was licensed at the County quarter sessions as a Baptist meeting place. After being decommisioned in 1927 it became the Elite Cinema. During WW2 it was used by the local ARP and Home Guard, before becoming the Bladen club in the mid sixties. Today, some might say, we have come full circle with a thriving cinema club,an active theatre group and top notch live music events.
Its independent Management Committee of volunteers (Trustees of the Charity) work hard to ensure that the Birchmeadow remains an attractive venue for top quality live music, for dances, amateur dramatics, cinema, and various other activities that aim to meet the needs of the people of Broseley and its surroundings.
