Description and History of Site:-
Two-storey brick-and-flint building with 'hay loft' style door at first floor level in the south wall - looks like stables and has been used as a smithy.
Identified by Brian Lancaster as the location of the Union Chapel opened in 1850 - and used by the Methodists from 1858, Congregationalists from 1870, and (later) the Primitive Methodists and subsequently as a smithy - the 'ecclesiastical style' pointed 'hayloft' door and windows are noteworthy.
The 'hayloft' door in the south-west facing wall is equipped with a beam for use with lifting tackle. The building is at the rear of another flint building (qv) closer to Portland Road.
