Preston Seventh-Day Adventist Church
Formerly Known as Preston United Reformed Church (and before that Grimshaw Street Congregational Chapel).
The church building is gothic in style. It was constructed as Grimshaw Street Congregational Chapel in 1857-59, on the site of an earlier chapel dating from 1810. The church became Grimshaw Street United Reformed Church following amalgamation of the Congregational and Presbyterian Churches in 1972. It was purchased following redundancy to become the Preston Seventh Day Adventist Church ca 2005.
The church is constructed in coursed rock-faced sandstone with ashlar details and a Welsh slate roof. The tripartite west front is formed by a gabled centre flanked by square two-stage towers, that on the left with a spire (the other uncompleted). It has a large 2-centred arched 4-light window with quatrefoil tracery and hood mould, and above this a small arched trefoil window with sill lettered: "AD MDCCCLIX" (1859).
The church is designated by English Heritage as a grade II listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 392044 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-392044-united-reformed-church-lancashire British Listed Buildings).

Strange colour so had to Google it for more details...Oops.

Grimshaw Street School
The old Grimshaw Street School is a grade II listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 392043 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-392043-grimshaw-street-school-lancashire British Listed Buildings) attached to Image
Dated 1836 and 1845, with a hall of 1882 to the south. The school contrasts with the church, being constructed in red brick in Flemish bond, with ashlar details and slate roof. The 1836/45 portion is of a classically derived style, typical of the region and period. The centre has a stone plaque at 1st floor inscribed "ERECTED / 1836 / ENLARGED / 1845", and a long upstand on the cornice with raised lettering "GRIMSHAW ST SCHOOL". The added south wing is gothic in contrast, but of matching materials.
