The old chapel, Chapel Street, Syston
Not shown as 'Chapel' on OS maps after the 1884 edition, after which time the current Wesleyan Methodist chapel on High Street had been built. Later shown as Sunday School. This suggests that it was the precursor to the current Wesleyan Methodist chapel. Now occupied by SARIC (Syston Arts and Recreation in the Community).

5 and 3 Chapel Street, Syston
Vine House and Chatsley House respectively. These are a pair of Georgian (late 18th century) town houses, built in the locally favoured Flemish bond with contrasting headers. The nearer shows a desire for economy by the original owner by having the central windows blank, thus reducing the amount of window tax http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_tax . Both houses are Listed Grade II.
