Park Hall which was built in 1856 using stone from Huyton Quarry, is an attractive, neo-gothic, church building within the Huyton Conservation Area. The building was the original Huyton Congregation Church, which had become too small for the growing congregation. A new larger Congregational (now United Reformed) church was built in 1890 on Seel Road (https://www.knowsley.gov.uk/pdf/conservation_appraisal_victoria_road.pdf Conservation Area Appraisal, Knowsley Council). The old church, renamed Park Hall continued to be used as a school until the early 1930s. When the school moved to new, modern premises in St John's Road, the building became a community hall until it closed and sold in 1986. Park Hall is a grade II listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 215264 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-215264-park-hall-#.VUYgLGd0x_s British Listed Buildings). Currently (2015) boarded up and “To Let”.
