Former Sunday School, Langthwaite

The inscription on the front of the building reads 'Wesleyan Sunday School and Institute 1923'. The building is a few metres along the road from the Wesleyan Chapel, but one wonders why such a large building was erected in 1923, long after the demise of the local lead mining industry and when the Arkengarthdale population was already in decline. Now in use as a private residence.
