Linacre Methodist Mission was founded in 1898 by Mrs. Elizabeth Walker and her son Mr. Albert James Walker. A two up two down house was bought in Langton Road, Litherland which was rapidly outgrown and in 1900 the first Linacre Wesleyan Mission was built to house a congregation of 500. In 1904 at the Sunday School Anniversary a crowd of three thousand came compelling the Mission authorities to hold the evening service in the open air in front of the Hall. Plans were drawn up to construct a new Mission Hall in front of the existing one to accommodate 1200 and this building was opened on the 30th. September 1905.
