This is the old chapel building in in School Lane, UpHolland, dates back to 1949. The building still exists though disused since 1966 when a new chapel building was opened at Hall Green in UpHolland.

Duncan did you mean 1849? This photograph was taken late 19th or early 20th century.

Sorry Ron, yes, I do mean 1849! I believe the old chapel was converted from some houses, if you go into St Thomas Churchyard traces of the old house windows and doors are visible in the back wall of the old chapel.
