William Booth Memorial Social Centre

The William Booth Memorial Social Centre is a building that was originally three houses, constructed around 1820 and converted into a museum in 1971. It is made of red brick with painted ashlar dressings and features slate roofs with three brick ridge stacks. The building has a rendered plinth, a first-floor sill band, and a wooden eaves cornice. It stands three storeys high and has a three-window range. The windows are glazing bar sashes with wedge lintels and double keystones. Each house has a single window and a renewed side door with six fielded panels, topped by a round arch and double keystone. The upper floors display regular fenestration. At the rear, there is similar regular fenestration and four-panel doors with segment arches. The interior was refitted in 1971 and does not retain original features. Notably, William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, was born in 1829 at No. 12.
