Samlesbury War Memorial Hall

Samlesbury War Memorial Hall Samlesbury War Memorial Hall is a non–profit making organisation and a registered charity. It is situated close to Blackburn and Preston & near junc 31 M6

After several years the necessary funds were in place, a design was agreed and the construction was begun and completed in 1928. The building was classical in style constructed in facing brick with stone dressings and consisted of a large committee room capable of being divided with a folding timber screen. On the rest of the site a bowling green and tennis courts were developed. The hall remained

in this form, (with the addition of a wooden hut linked to the main building) during the thirties, forties and early fifties. In 1958 the wooden hut was burned to the ground and it was decided to build an extension to provide a kitchen, toilets and a much larger room suitable for a range of public meetings of a business, social and recreational nature. When the extension (a more utilitarian building in common brick and block work with cement-rendering) was completed the hall remained unaltered and in regular use for the next twenty years, after which time it was in need of upgrading. In the last ten years the hall has been significantly improved with the installation of a suspended ceiling and double glazing and the renovation of the sprung floor in the large meeting room. The grounds are being gradually improved. There are now security barriers at the side of the hall. A car parking area has been developed and there are new exit and entrance arrangements and new signage.

Work is being carried out pumping the water away from Jackson’s Banks Road near Daisy Hill Drive. It’s still very muddy and extremely narrow where they are working. There is now also, a very deep pothole on the LHS coming from Commons Lane & RHS coming from Woods Brow. It is deep and could damage wheels & tyres.
