Former Bolton Brow Methodist Church and Canal Warehouse

The building is a former Methodist church, now a motorcycle store, with a connected canal warehouse. It was originally built in 1831 and extended in 1868. The construction is of coursed squared watershot stone with an ashlar facade, all under a slate roof.

The building is two storeys high, with a five-bay by six-bay arrangement facing Bolton Brow. The ground level slopes steeply to the rear, creating six storeys which house the canal warehouse for the lower four levels.

The front facade has a symmetrical design with a rusticated ground floor, a first-floor band, a cornice, and a blocking course. The central bay is recessed and features a Venetian window on the ground floor, characterised by fluted pilasters, a console keystone, and a sash window. Above this is a tripartite window with an apron and a central sixteen-pane sash beneath a fanlight with glazing bars, ringed by an outer light divided into circles, all within a rusticated surround and a leafy keystone. The outer bays have a six-panel door with an overlight that has glazing bars, set within an architrave with rosettes to the frieze and cornice. There are also sixteen-pane sash windows, though one has been removed. The first-floor windows are round-arched with fixed windows and glazing bars, a keystone, and a projecting cill. A hipped roof tops the church section.

The rear of the building has a wide central doorway with a monolithic lintel and two windows on either side for the ground and first floors. The second and third floors each feature five sash windows with glazing bars. The fourth floor, which functioned as a chapel, has a central Venetian window flanked by sash windows with glazing bars. The fifth floor features three round-arched windows. The returns have round-headed windows to the top floor and paired gutter brackets at the eaves. The right return exhibits a straight joint between bays four and five, indicating later extension.

Inside the church, a horseshoe-shaped gallery once stood on fluted columns. The original panelling has been removed from the front of the gallery except for the west end, where some remains. A panelled dado runs around the body of the church, but it has been removed from the west end. Remnants of a platform exist at each end of the church. The ceiling is divided into three panels, with the central panel featuring three elaborate light roses. The windows have blue-glazed margins.

In 1840, the building owners agreed to provide accommodation for the Rochdale Canal Company beneath the chapel.
