Psycho Parrot, you must be a young lad , I remember when they purchased it , it was a Young Offenders Correctional Facility, rumour has it is that it had a swimming pool, although it was a nice hall when it opened, problem was that it was stuck in the middle of no where , ok in the summer, but you could not go anywhere in the winter, also when it opened it had a full operational kitchen, until the stupid big knobs made the food "simplified". Dorking was the best ass'embly hall, right in the middle of town a KFC across the road, a lovely public park close by and a leisure centre opposite
What Assembly were you baptized at...

The building was purchased in the 90s by Marla Gibbs (Remember her from The Jeffersons and 227?), and has since been turned into a performing arts center.
Found this photo on the Internet. The feelings it evokes from me can best be described as "queasy-nostalgic."

At a Circuit Assembly in 1970 at the old Central Kingdom Hall in Pittsburgh (Oakland) PA. I don't remember if the Assembly was there or if we had to go there to use the pool in the basement.

JookBeard, I used to go to Dorking as a lad. I help build the Hayes-bridge hall in 1985, well I dug a few holes and filled them with concrete. Those were the days.
