It was closed as a church when i was up that way cira late 80s, but was hired out... this completely barking israeli guy used to teach kyushinkai karate there. They pulled it down a few years back and put up a mosque in it's place I knew it as a carpet warehouse.It was an example of an early 20th century corrugated iron prefab church, early flatpack, usually bought and and erected by the congregation. It had pretty much rotted away before demolition. IIRC some really good examples have been preserved in wales. They are usually methodist churches. Not a "Tin Taberrnacle" by any chance ? 
We wanted to make Leeds a better place for the future - but we're losing it. The tide is going out beneath our feet.

Not so. Most Methodist Chapels are (or were) substantial stone or brick edifices, often in a readily recognisable style. Tin tabs were mainly evangelical nonconformist denominations. Methodists were prolific builders, especially in the pre-1932 Union days of intensive rivalry between Wesleyans and Primitives which resulted in large buildings cheek-by-jowl, hence their survival in many instances as carpet warehouses and the like.
