Bethel Free Church, Eighth Avenue, Wortley
It looks more like a house than a typical church, but then 'Bethel' means 'House of God'.

Eighth Avenue, Wortley: last remains of a Victorian slum
On early 20th century maps are First to Ninth and Thirteenth to Eighteenth Avenues. No sign of Tenth to Twelfth, presumably planned but not built. They would all have had back-to-back terraces. Of them all, only Eighth Avenue still exists, in part, and only a short section at the truncated west end retains its original setted surface. There are modern developments nearby called First, Second and Third Avenues but not on the same alignments as the originals. None of the terraced housing remains; nearest the camera is Bethel Free Church.

Holy Family church, Green Lane, Wortley
A Roman Catholic church, part of the Parish of St Gianna Beretta Molla, with what I presume is (or was) the presbytery adjacent. The parish website lists priests from 1868, so the church was probably erected around that time.
