Engedi Methodist Chapel on High Street. As you can see, it has long since closed and is falling into decay. There were plans to build more of those pokey little houses here (no doubt like the ones just visible on the right of the picture), but the collapse of the property market has put paid to that, at least for the time being.

Above is the view from the northern (old Post Office) side.
