Langley Mill Coop
replied on: 8/16/2005 12:14:14 PM

I never knew that! The Langley Mill Coop hall provided many facilities too-there was the Drama Group (junior and senior)which ran for many years-well over 50-various handicraft classes, a youth club room, twice a year the Coop Manequin parade was held there (clothing paraded from Eastwood and Langley Mill shops), Handicraft exhibitons (everything from pegged rugs, cakes, handwtiting, garden produce), whist/Beetle drives-all kinds of meetings were held there- Betty Rose (who had her own school of dancing elsewhere) held dancing classes there (no charge)- I think the only time you were charged was an entry fee for a concert or to hire the hall for a wedding reception!The hall closed along with the demise of the Coop, I should say alas there is nothing like that in Langley Mill any more, but they reopened the Hall (after renovation) a few years ago as the Bridge Centre and guess what? all kinds of classes and functions are held there once again.
