Description

This building is a Methodist chapel, now serving as a timber store and joiner's workshop, dated 1862 on the first floor. It is constructed of red brick in English garden wall bond, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. The chapel has a rectangular plan that runs at right angles to the street and stands three storeys high.

The facade features a gabled, symmetrical design with three windows. The central doorway is square-headed and flanked by fluted pilasters, with a frieze that includes triglyphs and metopes, topped with a cornice. The door is from the 20th century, and there is a 20th-century signboard above it. At the ground floor, there are two large round-headed windows, which are now boarded, while the first floor has three similar windows with small-pane glazing and boarded tympana. The second floor has three smaller but similar windows. Above the central first-floor window, there is a stone plaque inscribed with "MOUNT PLEASANT / 1862".

Chimneys are located on the ridge on the left slope of the roof, with another on the rear slope. There are additions attached to both front corners of the building. The right-hand return wall has large round-headed windows, mostly boarded, but one window retains radiating glazing bars, although it is damaged. The left return wall features segmental-headed windows. The interior was not inspected. This building forms a group with No. 180, Nos. 174 to 178, and Nos. 166 and 168.
