Rainbow is the building in a version of Classical style with a big pediment. Was it a chapel? The decoration is rather ornate and secular in character.

Former Mount Zion chapel, Elland Road, Churwell
A former Primitive Methodist chapel, built c.1861, closure date unknown although it was before the grade II listing (list entry 1313452) was updated in 1986. It is now the home of YB Communications. The listing includes the former caretaker's house to the left, now a tattoo studio called "Ink Religion". What would the minister have thought of that?

Phoenix House, Churwell
A former Primitive Methodist chapel, built c.1861, grade II listed (list entry 1313452). Since I photographed the building two years earlier Image the 'Rainbow' branding has gone, revealing the earlier name 'Phoenix House' beneath the pediment. It's currently occupied by Northern Telecom. Note the defibrillator on the wall.

The Commercial, Elland Road, Churwell
The pub may have been here since the Leeds to Elland turnpike road was built in 1815. The 1908 map shows a smithy adjacent, which would fit with it being a coaching inn. The pub was described in a CAMRA guide to Leeds pubs published in 1993 as 'pleasantly refurbished ... with an upstairs family room'.

Estate agents, Elland Road, Churwell
The building now housing "Sell My Own Place" estate agents has a carved stone coat of arms on the top corner. I suspect it may have been a Co-Operative Society store, records indicate the Churwell Co-Operative Society was wound up in 1932 but I have not found an address for it.
