Description:The tiny Primitive Methodist Chapel (seen on the left hand side) gave its name to the street. It was built in 1856 by a handful of poor people who had struggled to raise the money to build their own place of worship in the hard times. It seats approximately fifty people and is still used regularly to this day.

The main houses on the left and the four cottages on the right still remain.
