Before it took over a building on the site of the cricket pavilion on the playing field as its headquarters, Hoole & Newton British Legion held its meetings in the School Room, from its foundation in 1944. Every Friday evening from March 1946 ex-servicemen and women could seek advice on pensions, benevolence, employment etc. In 1947 a Tenants' Association for Hoole Urban District Council council house residents was formed there.
In addition to being a place of worship the building of Hamilton Street Methodist Church provided a venue which was to enhance the cultural life of Hoole. Over the years it has provided organ recitals, choir festivals, drama productions and has been the meeting place for local organisations.▼

In 2019 discussions on the possibility of a merger with The United Reform Church on Hoole Road began with a view to forming a Hoole Community Church; the process was largely put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, but some joint activity in the form of online worship and a printed service has taken place.
