Description
Built in 1837. When the present methodist chapel was built in 1910, this old chapel became the Sunday School, later a meeting hall. In 1940 a youth club was formed by the local Reverand, Tom Sanders. During the Second World War the Home Guard met here. The building was demolished in 2003. Replaced by a pair of new stone houses (NOS. 20 and 21 Granby Terrace).
