Another chapel only known from old photographs, although its approximate location is apparent from the Ordnance Survey map; gone by the mid-20th century at the latest.

A chapel which was probably of early-19th century date, known from old photographs: its exact location has not been traced. Demolished in 1922.

The old meeting house here (NZ 2603 6003) is said to have been the first Wesleyan building on County Durham, built in 1754. On the photograph below the taller block at the far (east) end of the row appears to be the meeting house (the road was formerly ‘Meeting House Lane’. In 1898 it was replaced by the present ‘Wesley Manse’ but map evidence shows that this stands on exactly the same footprint, slightly skew to the road, as the meeting house. So does the building survive, perhaps partly refaced?

An Early 20th century building, shown as a Unitarian chapel on the 1919 and 1939 Ordnance Survey maps; by 1954 it was the Peniel Tabernacle and by 1970 a club. It has been demolished.
