Unett Street Methodist New Connexion chapel was built in 1838. It was “a neat and commodious chapel with Sabbath school rooms attached”. New schools were built in 1869 and both chapel and schools were altered and renovated in 1880. Further renovation took place around 1920 and again in 1934. The chapel stood at the junction of Unett Street and Hockley Street

It would be good to hear more about Free Methodism in Edinburgh. It appears from the Free Methodist Manual, and the UMFC Magazine that ministers were stationed there from 1840 to 1842 and throughout the 1870s. The society met in Drummond Street Hall until 1870 when the Park Place chapel was built. I have seen no evidence of them after 1880. Can anyone throw any light on this?
