History
The original Baptist chapel on this site was built in 1825 by the George Street Particular Baptist Church.[2] It was sold in the middle of the nineteenth century to the Scotch Baptists of Park Street.
The current building was erected to designs by the architect William Herbert Higginbottom, and opened on 18 February 1909.[3]
The church was closed in 2020, and following vandalism by trespassers plans for redevelopment into apartments was submitted in 2024.[4]
