was hoping for more with this place tbh ,its well partitioned with little remaining of its former use as a chapel,the ceilings are caving in ,the floors are rotted , the best part being the staircase at the front.

explored with 4737carlin ,wimr and the mule

Nice place from the outside but it looks a mess on the inside as of now. I hope the plans to save the building to put it to good use come about.

Fascinating. It looks like it is made of the same stone as the Welsh church on Princes Road. I hope they can save it but it looks to be in a very bad way.

There's one on Great Crosshall st as well, the old Sunday school to St Johns church that was in St Johns Gardens up until the late 1800s. It is to become St. Patrick's court - eventually.
