The town boasts many lovely buildings and avenues of trees, thanks to the foresight of our early townsmen - A later view

The foundation stone for the Temperance Hall (Mechanics Institute) was laid in December 1885 by Mr. John Thomson and the building completed by Easter 1886. It was enlarged in 1901 and has had various changes over the years to become our “Civic Hall”, in High Street.

The Civic Hall became the Civic Theatre for the purpose of screening movies.
