Union Street United Reformed and Methodist Church, Union Street, Oldham - Oldham

Built in 1855, one of the few remaining churches designed by Moffat Smith and an early example of a Gothic style non-conformist church in the North West. Rusticated sandstone rubble with a slate roof. Nave with two aisles and tower. The original spire was removed in the 1930s and a castellated top added. Phases of repair work have been undertaken with the support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund's Grants for Places of Worship scheme. Issues with water ingress and the roof structure remain.
