This Hall was transported from Sandy Creek in c1945. It was enhanced by the Gawler Blocks community to become a focal point for meetings, the regular Gawler Blocks dances, and Gawler Blocks Tennis Club.
A comprehensive account of the establishment of this area and the Gawler Blocks Hall was outlined in a 3 hour video taken of Mr Stan Coles in recent years, recorded by Brian Thom. The transcript of the contents of the video is available from the Gawler Library.
The written transcript of Stan’s interview was created to coincide with the Town of Gawler establishing the new Evanston Gardens Community facility, which was constructed to blend harmoniously with the old hall and its subsequent upgrading. The foyer of the new facility was dedicated to the memory of Stan and Rose Coles; in recognition of the meritorious service of the Coles family to maintain and develop the Hall and in the organizing of many activities in and around the Hall, over many years.
