| Three photographs of the building taken a
few years before the extension was built in 1975. |
| Building Costs |
| In 1925 the new building cost about £1,200-00. |
| In 1975/76 the extension cost about £5,500.00. |
Continued problems with the solid fuel heating system led
to consideration in 1931 of an electric heating system. Such a system was
not installed but in 1961 an oil-fired system was installed. This was replaced
by gas heating when the new extension was built.
