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.
