Probable former church. © James Murray. Janet Gimber has advised that this is Elim Church, which has its main entrance round the corner on Seymour Avenue. Originally showing as "hall" on old maps, at some stage the two buildings have been combined.

Just two doors away is this other probable church, now in use as an undertaker's. © James Murray. Janet Gimber has advised, after much digging, that this was a United Methodist Free Church. They moved in into the then new Steps Chapel in 1865. The steps are not visible in the photo - they stand on the right hand side of the building, and lead up to the main door to the chapel, which was on the upper floor. Eventually, the chapel became too small, and they moved into another new chapel, Claremont, still in use today. Much information on local Methodism here.
