Arlesey: The Women's Institute Hall
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 13 Jun 2010
The WI will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2015, having been founded in 1915 with two fundamental aims, both related to the then ongoing First World War, firstly to increase the quantity and improve the quality of food production, and secondly to revitalise rural communities where there was a sudden decrease in the number of men available for working on the land. This is the Arlesey WI hall on the east side of the High Street. The building was gutted in a fire in 1981 but reopened in 1983.
