church/chapel

Detached four-bay single-storey former chapel, built c.1920, having single-storey lean-to flanking block (north) and single-bay lean-to block (west). Now in use as clinic. Corrugated-iron roof with timber eaves course and uPVC rainwater goods. Corrugated-iron walls on concrete block foundation. Square-headed openings with one-over-one timber casement windows and timber sills. Square-headed door openings with single (flanking block) and double-leaf (west block) timber battened doors. Timber pews to interior. Enclosed by red brick walls and piers.

The structure is of particular note due to its corrugated-iron construction. The inexpensive and rapid constructional possibilities of this mass produced material were recognised in the mid nineteenth century, and it was used for a wide variety of buildings, ranging from railway, to domestic to military up to the mid twentieth century. However, corrugated-iron buildings are becoming increasingly rare as their heritage value has not been appreciated and such structures deserve particular attention and recognition.
