The Community Centre

The Community Centre has long been the hub of the whole village. Originally the Leadgate Co-op, opened on the 7th June, 1913. Anyone else remember their mam’s or Nanna’s divvy number? 

It was also used as an abattoir although not at the same time! Always something going on here whether it was a dance or drama group, the WI or the local councillor holding their surgeries and party meetings. I remember domestic science lessons being held here with Barbara.

It’s still the same building, even after all this time, it’s been renovated of course.
