"Do you have the name of a building on or near Tollemache Rd close to St James hospital which was used as a Community Hall in the 50s and 60s (and maybe earlier). It was made of metal and had a corrugated tin roof I think"

Just seen your link Bert. Yes it has been well discussed on here before. Never had a ration book myself lol, but was at play school there in 1970/71. Still feel old saying that even.
Wow, thanks guys, I had no recall of this at all and without knowing location I'd have spent hours pratting around.
Brilliant

In Perrin Hall, a cooked meal was provided for 1/-(5p)during the early 1940's. A special free bus was provided to take Victory Kidder employees to Perrin Hall form Laird St Depot at 12pm and return in time to complete their shift. It was also used in the evening as a dance hall.
