Pogmoor United Methodist Free Church chapel

A newspaper article  about a Methodist society meeting on the first Tuesday each month at 2:30pm in the conservatory at the Tom Treadhoyle Inn led to the discovery of this  former United Methodist Free Church building.  The society at Pogmoor  had a building that was too difficult for its small membership to maintain so a transfer to the hostelry is a creative solution.

The building carries a decorative date which probably reads 1881, together with a clear statement of its brand of Methodism. After the United Methodist Church was created in 1907, Pogmoor Street became part of Barnsley Blucher Street United Methodist Circuit, with its head church at Blucher Street.
