The building straight ahead was built as a Sunday school in 1896 and adapted for use as a chapel in the late 1960s. Set into the wall is the datestone for a chapel of 1834, the first one. The photograph is taken from what would have been the interior of another chapel, built 1867 when the church outgrew the 1834 building and demolished in the early 1970s. It is now a car park. The small wall in the foreground was part of the exterior wall of the 1867 chapel. The building on the right is dated 1929 over the door. It is referred to as 'the covered way' and was built to provide a corridor between the 1867 chapel and the 1896 Sunday school, as well as to provide on-site indoor toilets.
