Description

The Former Brewery Street Chapel is a late 19th-century building that was originally a Baptist Church. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and features a slate roof. The tall three-bay facade has a convex center bay topped with a cornice and a pediment. The side wings also have a cornice and a blocking course, with paired stone corbels and a moulded eaves cornice running across the top.

The large round-arched center window has a moulded arch and a corbelled stone impost band, and it is set in a recess. Below this window is a small blank arch. Each of the flanking bays has a blind panel with single-storey entrance porches at the base. These porches feature round-arched doors with plain fanlights on the inner face, along with one round-arched window that has a keystone and impost blocks. The porches are supported by brick pilasters and have a stone eaves cornice and blocking course.

The side facade facing Infirmary Road is notable for having three tall windows, each set in a recessed panel, with five additional windows below. At the rear, there is an outshut. An unusual feature of the building is its ventilation system, which consists of 19th-century cast iron grilles set into the outside base of the pilasters.
