The Mint Methodist Church. © Andrew Ross. Another view. © Graeme Harvey. Link.

The River Dream Centre, on Northernhay Street (1894). Can you advise former usage?  © Andrew Ross. Link. My appreciation to Janet Gimber, whose researches have revealed the following - 1894 is the date of an extension to the Chapel. This extension is visible in the photo, as a smaller building beyond the 5-bayed chapel. The main chapel itself was built in 1839 as a Plymouth Brethren Chapel, and a comment in Pevsner shows that it was Elim Providence Chapel at some point as well.

Sacred Heart Catholic Church. SX 920 924. © Andrew Ross.

St. Andrew at Exwick, consecrated in 1842. SX 908 936. © Andrew Ross.

St. Anne's Orthodox Church (on Old Tiverton Road and Black Boy Road). SX 928 932. Andrew thinks this used to be a chapel, and that it looks older than the date given above the gate (1927). © Andrew Ross. It is indeed older than the date, which may be the date for the gate itself. Janet Gimber has found its interesting history here.

St. David. SX 915 931. © Andrew Ross. Link.

St. Edmund - a ruined bridge chapel. Another view, and another. SX 916 921. A plaque inside the tower reads "It became a Parish Church, was rebuilt 1833-4, damaged by fire in 1969, and made safe by partial demolition in 1975.” All © Andrew Ross. Link1. Link2.
