Platt Chapel, located at the southwestern end of the Platt estate in Manchester, has served as a significant site for Nonconformists since its establishment in 1700. Originally opened to meet the needs of the local dissenting community after the closure of Birch Chapel, it was supported by prominent local families and continued its mission until its closure in 1970.

Historically, Platt Chapel underwent various alterations during the 19th century and later transitioned to a live music venue after being home to the Manchester Amateur Photographic Society. The Chapel's history is documented in a 1949 booklet by Edward Swindells, highlighting its rich heritage within the context of Unitarianism and the broader nonconformist movement in the region.
