The 1867 Registration of non-conformist chapels records a Primitive Methodist chapel at Old Brentford, The Committee Room.
The Primitive Methodist magazine of 1897 (page 153) reports “the memorial stone laying at Brentford in the Hounslow Station added £200 to the Building Fund” – but tells us nothing more.
Peter Sketch reports that this 1897 chapel, known as the Jubilee chapel, was replaced in due course after Methodist union by a new chapel on Clifden Road.

As well as the 1897 chapel, the one in use immediately before that is also still standing. It is on the same plot of land, very slightly further from New Road. The gap between the two buildings is very narrow; it looks like there was a deliberate decision to make the new chapel as large as possible while being able to use the previous one while it was being built. The previous chapel can be seen on the OS 25-inch map, revised in 1895: https://maps.nls.uk/view/101919843
The previous chapel is visible from the road, but not very clearly. I couldn’t see anything to indicate what date it was opened.
The 1897 chapel is described in the Victoria County History and the old building is still visible on Google Street View, where it is labelled Primitive Methodist Jubilee Chapel. It was on New Road, very close to Griffin Park so will have been a familiar landmark to generations of Brentford football fans. The VCH states that it closed in 1964 when the new church on Clifden Road was opened.
The VCH gives the location of the earlier committee room as Ferry Lane, in use from 1847. It is described as seating 70 which might suggest it was part of one of the now-gone industrial buildings in that location, rather than the still-extant pub. Some earlier meeting venues are also mentioned, with scant detail. https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/middx/vol7/pp158-162#p21
