The smallest church building in Derby?

A short but interesting history and, although the interior looks quite plain on the photos I've seen of it, I'll be looking to see if I can get inside sometime.

The church started in the 1870's when Christian railway men went street preaching in this area of Derby. People became Christians, and began to meet together as a church. Premises were rented, and the church was known in the early years as 'The Derby Town Mission'. In the church you will see a plaque to an 'Isaac Newton' - not to be confused with the Isaac Newton! Under his tireless leadership the whole work grew and the church was able to purchase the current building on Traffic Street. The work has continued through times of both hardship and blessing right to the present day. It is now known as Castlefields Church after the local area of Derby.
