This chapel sits on the main A684 and attached to it are 3 cottages. It closed in 2020.
It is thought that two stone mason brothers built the chapel in 1841 and today it remains without alteration. Inside are painted box like tiered pews. In its early days public confessions were made from the ‘ penitents form’ which remains today in front of the pulpit.
The chapel is one of many chapels mentioned in a leaflet ‘Railways and Religion in the Western Dales’. Garsdale Street Chapel forms part of a trail of small chapels linked to the history of the railways.
