History

This building served as the Sports Club for the Pemberton Mill and the broader community up until the building of the new Recreation Centre C2003/2004. The Pemberton Mill was constructed in 1913-14, and over the next decade the town of Pemberton (then called Big Brook) grew up around the mill. Other significant buildings constructed in Brockman Street during that period include the Mill Worker’s Hall, the School, the Mill Worker’s Mess (now the Shamrock Restaurant), and the Methodist Church. It is not clear when this Sports Club was built, but it would have been well used as a social and recreation centre for the mill workers and their families through the years.
