W.I. Hall, Ireby
The sign above the door says "Ireby Women's Institute 1952", which is when they bought the hall. The building dates from the 1700s, and was originally a schoolhouse.
A notice on the door, dated June 2009, says "KEEP OUT". The roof is unstable - fundraising is underway to restore this amenity, which was used as a meeting place for 15 local groups.
Update : the hall was repaired and reopened in May 2010.
