The former Albert Park Methodist Church, on the corner of Barlow Moor Road and Burton Road, is a Gothic-style church built in orange-red Manchester brick with yellow stone dressings. It has a bell tower with a modest spire and slate roof. It opened for worship in 1883, but in 1962 the chapel closed and was later converted into The Manchester Islamic Centre. In 1967 it was bought by some donors from the Syrian Arab community. The property consists of two large buildings, the first one is used as a mosque and library, while the second is used as prayer hall for women, a lecture and events room, classrooms, a kitchen, ablution area for men and one for women. http://didsburymosque.com/
