Description
April 2016. Historic building survey.
Documentary sources show that the current building on the site dates from the late 19th/early 20th-century and was originally built as a working men’s club. The building does not appear on the 1895 Ordnance Survey map, but it is marked on the second edition 1915 Ordnance Survey map, where it is labelled as a 'Workmen's Club'. On the 1938 Ordnance Survey map the building is still labelled 'Club'. It was later adopted as a parish hall, and in more recent times the building had been in use as a children's pre-school.
The original building was constructed between 1895 and 1915. The first extension was constructed between 1938 and 1950; stylistically it was constructed to appear similar to the original building, unlike the more modern extensions. At some point after the construction of this extension the building's roof was heavily altered and the chimneys were removed and the first extension was demolished. The remaining extensions to the south of the building were all added post-1950 and include small stores, one accessed from a door outside the building another located between the two extensions and a toilet block that wraps around the site of the building. <1>
