The local scout group are at pains to explain that the building taking shape on the corner of the High Street and Hollybush Hill is not another pile of luxury apartments, but rather the rebuilding of their headquarters.
This sequence of pictures shows the old hall, now demolished, the cleared site as at 9 May, the structure taking shape, and an architects’ drawing of the finished building. The Scouts are still raising money to pay for the construction – a number of bricks have already been ‘sold’ to supporters.
Great memories of the old Rovsco Hall with the discos there in the mid-1970s! Shame the soup kitchen is no longer there! All the best with the funding.
