Chapel at Upper Brook Street

Upper Brook Street Chapel is an old chapel with an adjacent Sunday school located in Manchester. The building was built in 1839 from hewn stone and sandstone in the English neo-Gothic style. It was the first nonconformist chapel in the country. At the corners of the structure were built small pointed turrets, in the niche, above the entrance, there are large clocks with combat. The whole building consists of many arched openings on the first floor, above which there are narrow windows decorated with openwork thin carvings. Inside the chapel, the walls are decorated with two rows of paintings and an unusual stained glass mosaic depicting images of saints.

Originally, the Upper Brook Street Chapel was built for Unitarians, where various church rites were performed. In 1974, the building was used as a mosque for the Manchester Islamic Academy.

This unique building has stood to this day in its original form, so it is of great historical value. However, the building of the chapel has suffered significant damage over the years, so the City Council of Manchester listed the Upper Brook Street Chapel on the list of Victorian structures requiring major repairs.
