St Andrew's Church Hall: A memory of Burgess Hill

St Andrew's Church Hall

A Memory of Burgess Hill.

I remember this being built after the old parish rooms burnt down. I think I was 5 or 6 when the fire happened. I went to Junction Road School and we put on a concert on the stage in the parish rooms when I was about 5 or 6 - I was a duck. We had Sunday school in there too until after the fire when we had it in the church. The fire must have been in 57 or 58. I wonder if anyone has any photos of the old parish rooms.

I remember that fire well, I was in the 5th Burgess Hill cubs and we'd started meeting there after I initially meeting in Junction Rd school. After the fire we went back to the school. I went to the Youth Club in the hall in your photo run by a hippy couple with a dormobile, then later run by the curate. That was in the early 60s, then intermittently from 66 to 68 when I was a junior soldier. Known as Loz then
