The History of Milford on Sea Community Centre 1915 to 2023

A detailed History of Milford on Sea Community Centre from 1915 to 2023 has been documented, telling the story of the building, and the people who created the Community Centre for the village.

This chronological record takes you from the original Church Hall on the site, through to the various organisations that went on the own the land and building, and how the Community Centre started from the dream of one man, Barry Phillips.

It documents the original Youth Club, many years of fundraising for the new building led by Sue Whitlock and Marguerite Willcox, the temporary Community Centre, the major role of Margaret Richens making the new building and National Lottery funding a reality, right through to today and the renaming of the building to The Bridge, and much more.

Over the years many trustees, and the ever critical volunteers, have worked tirelessly through the journey and without their individual contributions we would not have the excellent community facility we see today.

From the outset, the aim was 'To bring together the whole community and all ages across the village', I think we can be delighted to say that this is continually achieved. 

Thanks for history contributions go to: Margaret Richens, Sue Whitlock, Marguerite Willcox, Jenny Spenser, James Flintoff, Bob Braid, Zena Gibson, Bob Bishop, and Linda Bagnall.

Hidden gold on the Green!

Last Friday, following a fantastic team effort by members of the Milford on Sea Gardeners' Club, Milford Conservation Volunteers (MCV), Meadow Gardeners and some welcome “muscle” from Josh and Laurence who are employed by the parish council as groundsmen, over 700 mixed daffodils were planted around the edges of the Village Green.

This project was masterminded and organised by Sue Crabb, Chair of the Milford Gardeners’ Club, who has long felt we needed some daffodils to greet visitors to the village in the spring.

Many thanks to all those who helped with the planting, we look forward to a lovely display, come February and March 2024.
