How they do it in Norfolk

The Times, May 1956

News in brief:

"In an effort to raise £3,000 for a village hall, residents of Necton, Norfolk, are growing sugar beet on 10 acres of land lent by a farmer. An appeal for voluntary labour was sent to every household and met with a good response.  It is estimated that three hours’ work will be required of each person when 200 people, or about half the population of the village, have volunteered."

The only images I can find of a village hall in Necton are of a modern kind...perhaps it never came about, or perhaps they put up a prefab which has since been replaced.
