Later known as Brunswick Street United Methodist Free Church. Established by Wesleyan Reformers who secede from the Queen Street Wesleyan Methodist Church in 1857, the congregation used Philosophical Hall in Ramsden Street for worship between 1857 - 1859. A Sunday School was established in 1857 using rooms in Queen Street. It comprised of nearly all the scholars and teachers who had previously been at Queen Streets Sunday School in Fountain Street. A chapel was built in Brunswick Street in 1858 - 1859 and became part of the United methodist Free Church in 1866. With the congregation declining and structural defects found in the chapel building by the 1940's it was closed in 1949. The congregation joined Gledholt Methodist Church. The chapel building was demolished when Huddersfield Ring Road was built in the 1960's.
