City Mosque Preston, Grade II listed mosque in Preston, United Kingdom

The rectangular brick structure features three round-headed doorways, sandstone decorations, and a slate roof with a prominent pediment displaying the construction date.

Originally constructed as a Wesleyan Methodist Church in 1838, the building underwent alterations by architect James Hibbert in 1885 before its conversion to a mosque in 2016.

The interior space includes a horseshoe-shaped gallery supported by cast iron columns with Ionic capitals, maintaining the original architectural elements.

The entrance consists of a projecting single-storey porch with steps leading to three doorways, the central one adorned with Tuscan columns.

Five bays along the sides of the building contain two tiers of round-headed windows, complemented by a continuous frieze and cornice above the entrance.
