Building MPM1771 - 5 Margate Road

The building was used as a chapel by the Seventh Day Adventists (known as the Allensfield Hall) between c1927 and 1968, and the façade retains the appearance of a very simple chapel. [1, 2] It is now the Guru Nanak Gurudwara Sikh Temple. A building is shown on maps of the site from 1898 onwards, although the footprint appears to have been altered slightly after 1952.
