At 101 Queen Victoria Street 1668 - 1785, according to the plaque but strangely the Salvation Army's account of the history of the site of their offices doesn't mention it. In 1785 the lease on the Hall was given up and the Company effectively wound up, since it was proving impossible to maintain control over blacksmithery as a profession. Their website says: "In recent years a new movement has arisen".
