Building of the Community Centre


Scrapbook Home
Hook Community Hall (as it was then called), was made possible by the provision of the site which now holds both the hall and Hartletts Park, as the result of major housing development in the early 1980s. The Parish Council formed a building committee and provided the bulk of the funding, with assistance from Hart District Council, Hampshire County Council and local fundraising.
