Norton in Hales Playing Field - Community Sports Building

<-- Click to return

In January 2008 the old cricket pavilion on the playing field was destroyed by fire. It was decided to construct a replacement building to serve the needs of users of the field plus the wider community. With the help of substantial grants from Shropshire Council, Awards for All and the Northern Marches Leader Group, donations from very many people in the local community and an enormous amount of voluntary work, by summer 2011 work on the Community Sports Building was almost complete.

Photographs of the old and new buildings

Photographs of the old building, the aftermath of the fire and the new building at various stages of the project can be seen here.

A slide show of the above images can be seen here.

The new building is managed by Norton in Hales Community Sports Club. The building functions to help the Sports Club fulfil its charitable objects to promote sport and recreation in the local community. The building is available for use by local groups and individuals. More information about the management and funding of the building can be found here.
