Mellish Road Methodist Chapel was a grade II listed Methodist chapel in Mellish Road, Walsall, England, built in 1910.
The building was of limestone ashlar, with some exposed brick, and cost £3,600.
In the 1990s, subsidence caused by the flooding of disused mine-workings beneath the chapel caused a significant crack to appear in its walls. It was declared unsafe and abandoned. An arson attack in 2008 further weakened it, and – after being de-listed – it was demolished in 2011.
During demolition, its octagonal limestone spire was carefully dismantled and later, in 2015, offered for sale, with the initial asking price of £130,000.
The chapel's records are in the Walsall Local History Centre.
