Baden-Powell Hall, Scholes
Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 10 Feb 2018
The building bears a date of 1879 - long before Baden-Powell became famous for forming the Boy Scouts, so the name must be a later one. Another contributor's photo from 2008 Image suggests that the old part of the building was originally a chapel (although the 1893 map shows it as "Temperance Hall"), and shows it being converted, before the sympathetically-designed extension to the left was built.
