The Building
We have adopted Maybole Town Hall. Maybole is a small town. It has three schools. One academy, four churches, one library, one big supermarket, two garages. It is nine miles from Ayr. It has a big park. The Town Hall in Maybole was originally built in 1887. It is in the centre of Maybole. It has accommodation for seven hundred and fifty people. It's used for all kinds of sports and activities and it has a court room and other rooms. [Robert]
When we first heard that we had been chosen as South Ayrshire's school in the 'Adopt a Historic Building Project' we were absolutely amazed. We chose Maybole Town Hall because this building is a landmark in our town, it's used by everybody including ourselves, it has lots of history and we would like eo find out more about the town hall.
