Temple Street Baptist Church, Middleton

Constructed in 1889, this church is located in an area of narrow streets east of the centre of Middleton and close to a number of relatively modest houses also designed by Wood. John Archer described the building as being of "red and yellow striated brickwork in the Butterfield manner."
