Yep..I think you're right. I think I'm a bit younger than you, but I have very vague memories of this chapel being rebuilt around 1960. The triangular shape you are referring to is the front/roof of the chapel. Still surviving at the back and sides of the building is the type of stone work seen in the background of the picture, which icontrasts with the facing stone seen in the schools built around the town circa1900 (Hyndburn Park, Peel Park, Church Kirk, St Andrews).
