Walkley Community Centre

[RichardB]

Walkley Community Centre will be celebrating its 100th birthday throughout September with gigs, children's events theatre workshops, and lots more.

Built in the first decade of the 20th Century, Walkley Community Centre started life as the Walkley Reform Club. With an impressive snooker/billiards room, meeting rooms, hall and bowls green it was one of main social centres in Walkley. By the 1960’s the Club had gone bankrupt and the building became Walkley Community Centre, run by and for local people.

The building has many fine features including stained glass windows which incorporate photos of local men who died in the 1st World War.
