Description
Acorn Glass Merchants' premises, formerly known as Woodside Wesleyan Chapel, is located on Church Lane in Meanwood. This building dates back to 1811, with additions made in 1883 and alterations in the 20th century. It was constructed by Samuel Prince, a class leader and stone mason. The structure is made of coursed squared gritstone, and the roof has been replaced with concrete tiles.
The building is a single storey with five windows and features a plinth. The central entrance consists of a board door leading into the chapel, topped by a round-arched window with a date plaque reading 'AD 1811' above it, all set in a plain stone surround with impost blocks. The flanking windows are similar, consisting of five 4-pane sashes with glazing bars. The entrance is located to the left, between the first and second windows, also in a plain stone surround. At the rear, there is a lean-to range with original windows. The left return has an added bay that is not of special interest, while the right return facing the road features a narrow window on the ground floor, which may have originally been an entrance, and a lunette window in the gable.
The interior has not been inspected. The building was sold to George Barber in 1883, who added the mock timber-framed end bay and converted the chapel into a laundry, which closed around 1973.
