The foundation stones for a new day and Sunday school to accommodate 500 scholars at Cedar Road, Blackburn were laid in 1890.
I cannot see anything Methodist on the 1892 Ordnance Survey map, but by the 1910 map a sizeable Primitive Methodist chapel is marked on the west side of Cedar Street, just north of the junction with Hawthorn Street. It is still there at the end of the 1930s.
On Street View in 2009 and 2012 the substantial building still exists in use as a Masjid with a much newer church building closer to the junction. This appears closed.
What is the story?
