St Paul's Methodist Church, Rochdale Road, Shaw and Crompton - Oldham
Chapel of 1863 by James Simpson and Sunday School of 1871 by John Wild of Oldham, built in a classical style, with ashlar walls and slate roof. The site was shared with a day school until 1975, when a new school building was built. With reduced income, the Chapel building ceased to be used, with worship moved into the attached Sunday School. The original Chapel has been empty ever since and its condition declined leading to a roof collapse in February 2019. The building has been demolished down to a level at which it was safe to remove the road closing scaffolding.
