New Longton Methodist Church began as an amalgamation of two Churches; one was a small Chapel at the Longton end of Chapel Lane, and the other was a Chapel in Long Moss Lane, Whitestake. In 1906 a decision was made to close both these Chapels and to erect a new one in New Longton (then known as Hutton and Howick). The site of the present Church was purchased in 1907. The foundation stone was laid on May 23rd, 1908, and the opening ceremony took place on October 17th, 1908. The hall (shown in this photograph) was erected next to the church and is dated “1992”.
