This chapel on the right was opened by the Primitive Methodists on West street in 1819 and then sold to the Methodist New Connexion in c.1849.

This society later became United Methodist and, after a schoolroom was added, the chapel was re-faced in 1901.

The last service was held in 1948 and it was sold for use as a warehouse. The building was demolished in 1971.

In "A List And Brief Details Of Chapels In The Scunthorpe Circuit Past And Present" prepared By Colin Shepherdson & Mervyn G White March 1997 (Revised August 1998) it is stated that :-

"A Dissenter's Certificate was issued in June 1774 for 'a house lately built' and the first chapel erected in 1815.

Situated opposite the present chapel in the High Street it was sold circa 1900, following the opening of its replacement, and is now an empty shop.

The foundation stone for the second chapel, also in the High Street, was laid on the 19.7.1899 and the chapel opened on the 27.6.1900.

The chapel is still in use with a membership of 54"
