There were one chapel in each location of which on that at Caldermoor remains as a complete building. Use these links for the details of each chapel:-

Shore Primitive Methodist Chapel

Caldermoor - Zion Primitive Methodist Chapel

Croft Meeting Room

Shore Primitive Methodist in 1911

This rather poor photograph was captured from a programme produced to celebrate 50 years of the chapel. The foundation stone was laid inside the chapel and disappeared when it was demolished. Only the gate posts of the chapel remain. The adjacent St Barnabas school has been converted into housing.

The Original Preaching Room at Croft

(Pictured right)

The preaching rooms were located high up above Littleborough. The photograph is endorsed pre 1850 which presumably indicates from when it was used as place of worship. Croft was subsequently replaced by Greenhill Methodist Chapel located off Calderbrook Road. Greenhill chapel is one of the 4 that remain in use. Croft Meeting Rooms later had alternative uses but are now largely derelict albeit the ruins still perhaps suggest the original purpose.
