Lyneham Memorial Hall was built in
1920 and provided a meeting place for the Lyneham
Lads. The hall, was used often and we recall that one
half of the building had a three-quarter sized snooker
table and the other end of the building had tables
for the gents to play cards and drink.
There was limited lighting and it was restricted during
the war making it difficult to enjoy their pastimes.
Heating was provided by a coal fire at each end of the
hall.
The building is now being used as a village library.
