Thirlmere Recreation Hall
When Thirlmere was created Manchester Corporation acquired all
the
land in the surrounding area and ran the estate with a kindly
paternalism.
One such act on their part in 1942 was to bring to Thirlmere the
Recreation Hall, formerly a Mission Church at Haweswater which became
redundant when work ended on the reservoir there.
Thirlmere Recreation Hall
The Thirlmere Recreation Hall has since been a centre for community
meetings and activities and has recently been refurbished at a cost
of over £60,000 and much voluntary labour from parishioners.
It is used by community groups but is also available for meetings
of outside organisations, and even for overnight stays.
Cost to hire, £12 per hour, and £85 for an overnight stay, including
heating and electricity
