On the Leeds City Council Leodis website, however, it shows a 2005 picture of the building undergoing renovation. It is labelled as the Primitive Methodist Sunday School and says that the Primitive Methodist Chapel stood to the right of it and has since been demolished. It was built in 1867 on land donated by Mr. Horn of Fleet Mills." [387] [388] Leeds City Council's Public Access for Planning site records that a "change of use involving alterations of former chapel to 5 bedroom dwelling house" was approved on 14 December 2004.
