O.S. maps show a now demolished R.C. Chapel on Granby Road at SK 2188 6842. Post-dating a map of 1883, it shows as still active on mid-20th century maps.

A former Primitive Methodist Chapel is listed here as standing on Water Street, dating from 1892. It isn't shown on any available on-line maps, and its appearance gives no hint of its status as a former chapel. It was seen by Streetview in 2022 (the white-painted building). Circa SK 2189 6849.
