              Around 1907 two rooms above Frank Jones' chemist shop on Newbottle Street were used for Evangelical services. By 1912 the Houghton-le-Spring Evangelical Assembly hired a hall in Pottery Yard. Later they had this Gospel Hall on Mautland Street on the corner of George Street. Single storey (?rendered) with a pitched tiled roof. Gothic arched door in gable end. A second door in the east elevation along with four Gothic arched windows.
