Memories of Allum Hall

For #MemoriesMonday we are thinking about Allum Hall and wondering what your memories are. The current house was remodelled from an earlier building in the 1880s, and Dame Anna Neagle led the fund-raising for the purchase of Allum Manor for the community in the 1950s.  Many stars from Associated British Picture Corporation, including Audrey Hepburn, helped with the cause.  Eventually a new Hall was built next to the Manor and opened in 1998 following a grant from Hertsmere of £2.5 million.  The photo is supposed to show the opening of the Manor, but we don't know who the lady is or when the photo was taken.  Maybe you do?  Looking forward to your memories.
