Former Congregational Church, now The Land of Green Ginger Shopping Centre

The church in Front Street was designed by Thomas Oliver and opened in 1868, with an adjoining hall added in 1886. The buildings have now been converted into a retail outlet taking its name from a curiously-named street in Hull. They are listed Grade II by Historic England: "Coursed rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings; Welsh slate roof with stone gable coping. Stone spire and spirelets. Modified late 13th-century style. Church oriented north-south; ritual west to Front Street has tower at right, hall adjoining on east. Steps up to tower double door which has ballflower ornament to moulded arch on twin shafts; upper stages of tower have two-light belfry openings beneath arcades with slit windows. Broach spire with lucarnes. Four-light west window. Lower one-bay link to tree-storey three-bay gabled hall on left, of similar materials. Stone mullioned and transomed windows, the upper ones pointed-arched. Right return of church has four gables with two-light windows."
