Tyldesley Drinking Fountain
The drinking fountain on Elliott Street is Grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1068444 It dates from 1892 and was donated by John Buckley (1812-1892).
In his will Buckley demonstrated his deep affection for the town by leaving £200 for the construction of "a water drinking fountain for Man, Beasts and Dogs". The fountain was also to serve as a "public lamp pillar" and so was topped with a gas light when in its original Elliott Street position. It was later moved to Tyldesley Park then reinstated in the town centre although on the opposite side of the road to its original site.

Top Chapel
Top Chapel was Tyldesley's first place of worship. It was built in the Market Square in 1789 for the Countess of Huntingdon's sect which had broken away from the Church of England (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/tjd.davies/Tyldesley%20Top%20Chapel.htm ). It became known as the Top Chapel due to its geographical location. Later another smaller chapel was built at the bottom of the hill and became known as the Bottom Chapel; this chapel no longer exists.
The Chapel, a grade II listed building (http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=213517- Images of England), became a Pentecostal Chapel in 1970 after being in decline for a number of years and is now The Community Life Church, affiliated to Elim Pentecostal Churches independent (http://www.elim.org.uk/ ).
