The building fund grew very slowly during the First World War years. In 1920 a donation from Councillor Dawson was acknowledged and in April 1924 a bazaar was held in George Street Methodist Church school room, seeking to raise £1,100, £100 for the installation of electric light, and the redecoration of the school room, the remainder to swell the building fund.
In December 1925, an Olde English Fayre was held at Hamilton Street, which raised £50 towards the £2,000 the trustees hoped would be raised to allow the foundation stones to be laid on Easter Monday 1926. This did not take place until September 1927 when a newspaper article gave an account of the cost (between £5,500 and £6,000) and a description of the proposed building.<gallery mode="packed" caption="Stone laying ceremony October 1927- The Minister was Rev.
