Cross Arthurlie Street, Barrhead, Methodist

In January 1889, a decision was made to erect an Iron Church in Henry Street, this opened in July 1889.

In 1900 the site was purchased by the Glasgow & South Western Railway, and a decision was taken to build a new church in Cross Arthurlie Street.

On 1 May 2016 the doors of this old red sandstone building were closed for the last time after 112 years.
