History of Aughton Village Hall
In the late 1960′s, as Aughton was fast developing as a commuter belt for Liverpool, a local landowner gave the fields at the junction of Winifred Lane and Bold Lane to the West Lancashire Rural District Council for the benefit and enjoyment of the people of Aughton. Over the following few years the land was allocated to what is now the William Arnold Silcock Memorial Playing Fields and the Aughton Village Hall and Gardens The Village Hall was built with support from grants, loans and money raised by the Public, and was opened by councillor Don Burns in 1971. The embroidered tablecloth worked by Mrs King and now framed and mounted on the back of the Oakleaf Suite, contains the signatures of all the people involved in the fund raising. The Acorn suite or Annexe was developed 10 years later and was built to cater for the needs of a youth group.
