The former Ashley Road Methodist Church, which stands at the junction of Ashley Road and Ashton Mount. The 25" O.S. map of 1908 shows two chapels on this site, a Chap., and immediately adjacent to its west, a U.M. Church (United Methodist). What the relationship between these was (if any) is unclear. A newspaper article (scroll down to number 3) includes a photo of Ashley Road Methodist Church undergoing demolition in 1984 - this would appear to be the U.M. church.
