Disused Church at Two Dales, Darley

Kelly's Directory of 1895 reports on a Wesleyan Chapel at Two Dales, built in 1827, and information on the former Derbyshire Churches and Chapels website informed us that the present Methodist Church in Dale Road replaced an earlier Wesleyan Chapel, in Two Dales, so it seems highly probable this is it!

The Methodist Church was built in 1904, so presumably this building was closed for worship some time after that date. In more recent years, it has been used as a bakehouse, part of a thriving bakery business, and apparently (in 2010) this is still the case, as there is now a logo attached on the gable end nearest us which announces ‘Tig Bread’.
