The building was originally built as the Saint Michael and All Angels church of the Church of England in 1900. The church was converted into a mosque and community centre in the 1970s by people from the Pakistani community.[1]

In 2010 the mosque was one of 79 buildings that were included on a 'Local List' by Middlesbrough Council, deemed to be of local historical or architectural importance.[1][2]

In August 2024 the mosque was protected by a group of 300 people with surrounding streets blocked by police during the 2024 United Kingdom riots.[3]
