Description: | March 1972
A brass plaque inside the entrance to Morley Hall placed there after Sir Charles Scarth bought the building and gave it to the Borough of Morley. The wording on the plaque is as follows: 'Morley Hall. This Hall and the adjoining gardens were presented to the Borough by Alderman Sir Charles Scarth J.P., a Freeman of the Borough, for use as a Maternity Home, Babies Welcome, Creche and Public Pleasure Ground. A.D. 1917 Councillor J. Stockdale, Mayor, Alderman S. S. Clegg, Chairman of Committee.' The plaque disappeared during vandalisation that took place in the three years following its closure in late 1972.
