23, Park Street

No. 23 Park Street is a former chapel, now used as a lock-up garage, built in 1854. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof with a brick stack on the ridge at the rear. It is designed in a simple late Classical style, with the gable facing the street. The structure is a single-storey, two-window range. Originally, there were two round-headed windows with glazing bars and border panes set in moulded stone surrounds, complete with moulded stone cills at the first floor. These windows have been shortened to accommodate a pair of 20th-century garage doors below. The chapel has an ashlar plinth with a moulded top, and the pedimented gable is adorned with a moulded cornice and coping. The interior has not been inspected. This chapel was built for a group that seceded from an earlier Baptist church, led by Joseph Tanner, and it closed around 1930.
