A Category B listed church built to serve Port Glasgow’s Clune Park Estate, closed in 1997 and demolished in 2025.
At a glance
Clune Park Church was constructed in 1905 as a parish church for the residential Clune Park Estate in Port Glasgow, Scotland. It remained in active use for over nine decades before closure in 1997, following broader urban changes in the town.
History
The church was built in 1905 to serve the Clune Park Estate community. It operated continuously until 1997, when it ceased its role as a place of worship. Following closure, the building’s future became uncertain for many years amid broader regeneration plans for the area by Inverclyde Council. An application for demolition was submitted in 2024, leading to its scheduled removal. The church was demolished in April 2025 alongside the adjacent Clune Park Primary School.
What you see
The church held Category B listed building status, a designation that recognises buildings of regional or more than special interest in Scotland’s architectural and historical record.
Cultural significance
Clune Park Church represented an important community institution in early 20th-century Port Glasgow, built during a period of industrial expansion in Inverclyde. Its listing reflected its architectural and historical value to the town’s heritage.
