Grade II Listed former Methodist Chapel dated 1764 on the west gable - this is the east gable. The blue plaque states that "This building, originally known as Broadgates Chapel, was the first Methodist Chapel to be built in Barnard Castle. Much of the labour in erecting it was undertaken by the men and women of the congregation. John Wesley preached in the opening service." There is more on the plaque but it is difficult to make out from the photograph on the Historic England website. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1282876. The sign over the arch says Broadgates, which is a walkway leading across to the Bank. The building is now apartments.
