Old Village Hall

Built as the first Derry Hill School - the building was later used as The Institute and later the Village Hall. The building was sold and converted to a house - with the Lansdowne Hall (new Village Hall) being opened at the end of the 1990's.

 1935 - a photo in the Institute's Garden following a celebration lunch  for King George Vs and Queen Mary’s Silver Jubilee. The introduction of a pavement along Church Road and this part of Studley Lane meant that the Hall Garden was reduced in size and the War Memorial moved back a few feet. 

 1950 and the agreement is made to provide hot school dinners at the Old Village Hall. Children and their teachers would walk from Derry Hill School to the hall for their lunch
