My brother Donald also confirmed it was on Hyndburn rd and he was 10 years older than me so he probably new more detail more than me. Sadly he passed away last year.
I think I can find some more photos which may have been taken outside the chapel, in the same "uniform" not overalls. May not show a lot of detail though....

We're not doubting your mum Phil just saying that the only Bethel WE know is Barnes Street.
And we are trying to help identify the photo's location, so please try and bear with us.
I have just spent half an hour on Streetview progressing along Blackburn road both sides from the railway bridge towards Church since those buildings should be easy toidentify if they still exist, even with recent shop fronts etc. The type of stonework, arrangement of windows etc should help, but couldn't spot any resemblances.
If they are on Blackburn road then I think they must be where Bob said, between Fox and Scaitcliffe streets - now knocked down.
