Windback Wednesday - Gilbert Wood Scout Hall

Do you recognise this building in Tusmore Park?

The Gilbert Wood Scout Hall was officially opened in February 1939 by Lord Hampton, the Chief Commissioner of Scouts in England, and was created for the First Linden Park Scout Group. It was initially planned to be a modest iron and wood structure, but the Wood family of the wholesale grocery business G. Wood, Son & Company generously donated £400 towards the construction of a brick hall. The Scout Group raised the rest of the funds for its construction.

Today the building is home to the Glenside Lions Bookmart.
