City Mosque Preston (formerly known as North Road Pentecostal Church) is in North Road, Preston, Lancashire, England, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1]
History
The church was built in 1838 as a Wesleyan Methodist Church,[1] and was partly rebuilt in 1885–86 by James Hibbert.[2] It was later converted into a Pentecostal church.[1] Since 2016 it is being used as a Mosque.
Architecture
The church is built in brick (red on the front and brown on the sides) with
balustrade. The upper storey contains five windows with round moulded heads, and a band of square panels above them. At the top is a pediment containing a stone inscribed with the date of original building. Along the sides of the church are five bays with two tiers of round headed windows. Inside the church is a horseshoe-shaped gallery carried on slim cast iron columns with Ionic capitals. At the west end is a large arch with fluted pilasters.[1]
