What remains of this building (which occupies a large site between Rock Road and Melville Street, above) looks pretty solid. But even the estate agent's notice seems to have given up on it. From a Torbay Council report: "The Methodist Chapel site between Melville Street and Rock Road ... has long been derelict. An imaginative development here, in keeping with the character and local distinctiveness of the conservation area, could be a first step in the badly needed regeneration of the sub-area."
