The Frogmore Street Baptist church and Sunday School, or Memorial Hall, right, was demolished in 1979 to enlarge the supermarket and some of the gravestones can be seen at the rear of the building. The chapel was built in a simple round-headed style with a gable entry. (RACHMW record 2010) See more information about the chapel below.

To the rear of no 26 Doug Jones Ltd ran a garage, but Tesco’s built a new building there and ran it as a Garden Centre.
