Shown on 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. Planning permission has been granted for the demolition of Moor Cottage, erection of one house, conversion of workshop to a house and alterations to Moor House. A report by Archaeological Research Services concludes that Moor House and its barn (the workshop) were built before 1858. It was probably linked to Towneley Main Colliery (Emma Pit), which opened in 1847, and the Simpsons who were colliery managers. The report notes that Moor House is similar in construction to nearby Hedgefield House. The authors suggest that Moor House could be eighteenth century in origin. It was extended by 1898 and an entrance lodge and coal house were built. Moor House still retains some fine external detail such as the sash windows with sandstone surrounds and the main doorway. The brick extensions, which have been painted white, were added in 1898.

Description
Shown on 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map as a methodist chapel. This chapel was raised in memory of the local Methodist preacher and missionary Robert Young. He was well thought of and the local Methodist community were proud to be associated with him. It is well built with un-lavish but individual detailing.
Chapel building of 1 storey with single storey hall adjoining to the east side. They are both constructed of sandstone rubble with ashlar detailing. The stone was hewn by the trustees and some helpers from a local quarry between Emmaville and the Wylam Road, using borrowed carts. The roof of the church is of Welsh slate with slightly swept water tables to each gable terminating in decorative kneelers. There is a chamfered plinth course beneath the windows to the sides incorporating the sills. To the principal (north) elevation there is a stone pinnacle atop the gable, and a large porch below which is gabled to the centre but flanked by ‘lean-to’ pitches. This also has water tables with kneelers, and it crowned by a smaller pinnacle of the same design. The timber plank door sits between 2 pairs of lancets – the lancet pairs being repeated to the side with single lancets interspersed. The hall is similar with a lower ridge line, with the door being set in a moulded stone surround with tudor arch in the east side of the porch. A lancet pair is the central feature of the street elevation. There are some original cast iron rainwater goods with decorative hopper heads.
