The memorial hall.

A partial front view, with the original building on the left.



Photo-montage on display inside the hall, showing the front as it was before the extension was built.



The rear of the present hall, facing the main road.





On the north-west outside of the hall is what I was told is a memorial garden, which will look better in six months' time.
