The original Huyton Chapel was in Pinnington Place, built to seat 220 to 230 people and opened in June 1836. In 1856 it was succeeded by this much larger church in Hey Road, built of stone from the nearby Huyton Quarry. After the coming of the railway and building of grand villas in the area, the growing congregation transferred to the new, larger United Reformed Church. The old church, renamed Park Hall continued to be used as a day school until the early 1930's when the school moved to new, modern premises in St John's Road, it then became a community hall, hosting dances for the local people until it closed and was sold in 1986. Presently "to let".
