1 set 1967 ano - Coleford Community Centre opens

Descrição:

In Autumn this year the Duchess of Gloucester officially opened Coleford's newly built Community Centre on Bank Street. The building was extended in 1979. A wide range of activities for all ages would take place there, including young local bands. It was also the home of the Coleford branch of the Gloucestershire County Library. The building was eventually demolished with activities and the library housed in the newly built Main Place.
