Brabourne Village Hall History
At about 1.15pm on Sunday May 2nd 1954 during a storm of exceptional severity, thought to be a whirlwind, Brabourne and Bircholt Village Hall was demolished. The original hall was built in 1932 and extended by adding cloakrooms to the rear shortly before the catastrophe. It appeared that the roof was lifted up by the wind and crashed back down demolishing all of the original building in a great cloud of dust, only the extension remained standing.
