Congregational
Chapel
The slender campanile of Edward
Walters'
Congregational Chapel can be seen rising up above the railway viaduct
as it crosses the end of Deansgate. Walters was the architect who
designed the Free Trade Hall and several of the fine warehouse in
Manchester including the one on Portland Street that is now the Thistle
Hotel. He built the Congregational Chapel in 1856 of red brick with
stone dressing.
It is now a Grade II listed
building. In the 1980s it
was apparently converted by Pete Waterman into a recording studio and a
pub.
