St Paul's Presbyterian church was formed in 1822 from the amalgamation of a presbyterian congregation at Academy Hill dating from 1779 and East Street Chapel, which came into being as a chapel in 1810, although it had existed from 1805 as a preaching station in Market Street, South Shields. By 1877 the chapel in East Street had become too small and a building committee was formed to establish a new church. This opened for worship in Westoe Road on 16 February 1880. St Paul's was united with St John's [see C.SS6] on 23 March 1968 and closed. The new congregation became St Paul and st John Presbyterian Church [see C.SS7]
