Datestones set into the wall of the building give a date (presumably of either start of construction, or opening) of 23 July 1904. The church was known as St Paul's Farnley or sometimes St Paul's, New Blackpool: a daughter church of St Michael & All Angels, Farnley. It was still open for worship according to a report in 1969; I haven't found a definite closure date but the last records at the West Yorkshire Archive Service appear to be in 1978. This view shows the church entrance, now boarded up. It is now in residential use.
