Archive Photo of The Month – April

This month we share a photo of the Auldhouse Pavilion.

The image below is of the Auldhouse Pavilion, which was completed in March 1968, and included 6 dressing rooms, showers, baths, a kitchen, and a committee room. The official opening of the new pavilion however, took place on the 7th September 1968, and included many former staff and pupils, and committee members.

Only a few years before, renovations involved the loss of the tea-room from the old pavilion, and so a carriage was acquired from British Railways – similar to our subway carriage in H@PP. Electric light was installed; the carriage was painted blue and for 5 years lemonade flowed.

Do you have an image of the old blue railway carriage? If so, please get in touch with our Archivist.
