"Established 1927", reads the sign on this tin building, mapped as a "hall and Sunday School", on Butt Park Road, although an entry on the Plymouth Archives gives a date of 1911 of a "temporary portable corrugated iron reading and recreation room" (architect Edwin Evans) on Warwick Park Gardens. Warwick Park itself survives as a nursing home further down the road.
