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.
