A number of Wirksworthians are not happy with a recent announcement by the Mayor, in October 2014, that consideration is being given to rebuilding the Memorial Hall and some flats on this memorial garden site. The adjoining 1930s hall - off to the left - is attached on its other side to a former cinema (now occupied by a building company). The hall started life as a country club, went on to become a cafe and currently provides office space to several local organisations and the Derbyshire County Council.
