The present assembly at Viewforth date back to the late 1880s, and the land to build a new hall at the present location was purchased in 1918. The hall was built "with the help of one journeyman" and voluntary labour (many of the men were miners who were idle due to a strike at the time) and was opened with a conference in September 1922. It has continued as a place of worship and gospel preaching to the present day.
