West Wylam Ebenezer Methodist Church, Scales Crescent, West Wylam

Notes

Former Methodist chapel which was originally built in 1874 by the Mickley Coal Company. The interior of the building is split over two levels, comprising the main hall and a number of other rooms and spaces. There is also a small basement space. The chapel has lain empty since closure in 2015. An application for demolition of the chapel and construction of 8 dwellings was permitted in January 2025 (24/02984/FUL). These units are one-bed apartments for affordable rent. Development yet to commence but the scheme is considered deliverable in the coming five years, with the forecast taking into account time for demolition of the chapel and further site preparation.
