In the nineteenth century Newington South Church employed a ‘missionary’ to work among the slums of Causewayside. James Goodfellow, missionary from the 1850s to 1890s has written of his experiences in a book ‘The Print of His Shoes’.
Following union with Hope Park in 1940, the congregation used the Newington South building. In 1959 the name ‘Salisbury’ replaced ‘Newington South & Hope Park’. The mission hall (95 Causewayside), acquired from St Catherine’s in 1942, was sold in 1980 to the Scottish Society for the Mentally Handicapped.
Faced with maintenance of a large building and a declining membership, Salisbury united with Mayfield in 1993. The first service was held in Mayfield, now Mayfield Salisbury, 7th February 1993. The buildings were sold to a local businessman and are currently a lighting showroom.
