Full description
PRN 65339
A Wesleyan Reform chapel was built in 1864 on West Bank. {1}
The site was visited in 2009. The extant building was built in 1864 as a Wesleyan Reform Chapel which held 200 people and had a gallery at one end. It became a Salvation Army chapel before 1896 and is still in use as such. The chapel is constructed of red brick, with gault brick dressings, and has a hipped, slated, roof. The angles are emphasised by alternating, beige gault bricks. A modern gabled porch has been added to the 3-bay front, flanked by tall, narrow, round-headed windows which have gault brick dressings, chamfered jambs, and margin lights. A blank ashlar tablet is set above. The side elevations have four bays of identical windows. A lean-to modern annexe has been added to the rear, but traces of a former opening can be discerned in the gable of the original rear elevation.{2}{3}
