Description

The former Primitive Methodist Chapel, dated 1863, is now used for industrial purposes. It is constructed of squared, dressed stone with ashlar quoins and dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and a basement, featuring a symmetrical three-bay front framed by rusticated quoins. A projecting plinth supports two square-headed basement windows. The central round-arched doorway, which includes a fanlight, is accessed by a renewed brick stair and is set within a rusticated, slightly projecting panel that extends to the first floor. The first floor has round-arched sash windows with glazing bars, the central window having a wide ashlar surround. A band runs between the floors, and the pediment displays a central tablet inscribed with "MOUNT ZION Primitive Methodist Church 1863."

The rear elevation is accented by square clasping buttresses that rise as corner stacks. A central addition features two round-arched windows on the ground floor and two square-headed basement windows, with the left window enlarged to serve as a loading door. The flanking side walls contain round-arched windows, while the left and right returns are plain except for a basement door and window. The interior has not been inspected.
