Ayton Community Hall
- The History
The hall was built as a soup kitchen in Victorian
times and later acquired by the Church of Scotland, when it became
known as the Church Hall or the Mission Hall. Up to the late 1970s
it was used along with the much larger Volunteer Hall in what is now
the Old Town. The Volunteer Hall was sold and demolished to make way
for new housing.
At the same time, the new Ayton Primary School was
built which included a large hall to be used as a community hall.
The school hall was used well for 20 years or so but greatly
increased hire charges have meant it is rarely used by the community
now.
