Council chambers and community centre
The Parish Council sits here, whilst the Community Association is next door. The buildings were originally Winscombe and Woodborough Primary School, opening in the mid-nineteenth century. Following the growth of the population and subsequent squeeze on spaces, more school rooms were built elsewhere. Eventually, local moves to the authorities to turn the school over to parish and community use were granted in 1979. It now is a welcoming facility for all.

Winscombe Bowling Club
The club began playing in 1921, using a homeowner's lawn. The following year the club sought to raise funds to establish a proper venue. Shares in the venture at £5 each were soon snapped up and the club laid out a green here. Today, the club continues to compete and even has floodlights for night matches!

Millennium Green Sculpture, Winscombe
Another view of Image from the opposite direction. This is the work of Dick Boulton, carved in Doulting limestone, a stone carried on this railway.
"The sculpture symbolises a pair of railway lines snaking away into the distance. Some people say that the ‘SS’ stands for ‘Strawberry Special’, the name given to the regular passenger train service along the Cheddar Valley Railway, the railway which passed through Winscombe" http://www.wsmg.org.uk/
