Methodist Central Hall High Street/ The Grove Slough

After the Union of the Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists, the Central Hall was built on the corner of High Street and The Grove, at a cost of £31,000, most of which was raised within two years. The foundation stone was laid on 3 February, 1932, and the new hall was opened by H.R.H. The Duchess of York (later H.M. the Queen Mother) on 10 November of the same year. It was designed by Mr. Arthur Brocklehurst, and the contractors were Messrs. A. & B. Hanson, Ltd., of Southall. Furnishings were supplied by Slough firms. The imposing dome of the hall was al andmark in the High Street for over 30 years, until it was demolished to make way for office and shop development.
