Myland
Parish Halls were built in 1871, as a school for 137 children, and
continued as a school for 36 years until a new school was built to serve
the growing population – the new building, opened in Mill Road in 1907,
had a capacity of 350 children.
The
building later became known as the Parish Halls, which for the past 50
years have been in continuous use serving the local community. Today,
the Halls play a key role in the locality by providing community centred,
educational and leisure activities. Nineteen community groups use the
premises on a regular basis including a playgroup, a parent and toddler
group, Guiding &
Scouting Groups, a drama group, "Senior Moments" as well as four Church
groups; and on most weekends private party bookings are held in the Halls.
There
are two Halls, which are available for hire at various times, with modest
kitchen facilities and toilets. Please telephone the above number for more
details, or for enquiries about booking the Halls.
Whilst
there have been a number of repairs and improvements over the years, there
is now an urgent need to modernise the facilities in the building, to meet
the needs and expectations of our community, which is growing at a faster
pace than ever before. We now have a Halls Modernisation Project – click
