Bottomboat Primitive Methodist Chapel on Bottomboat Lane was destroyed in a fire before 2008 when Streetview saw the vacant site. It was already derelict by 1990 as a photo shows here, where it's dated to 1874. A Sunday School was added later, set further back from the road. Housing has since been built on both sites - 2023 Streetview. SE 3595 2469.

Lee Mount Wesleyan Chapel (built 1874-6, SE 3471 2458) on Mount Road was demolished because of subsidence. A photo of it can be seen on this pdf document (see p. 256), where its closure is given as 1968, demolition circa 1976. A bungalow was built on its site - it can be seen in a 2023 Streetview, with its former Sunday School of 1929, latterly Stanley Methodist Church, standing adjacent. It too has now closed.
