Description: | The foundation stone on far left of the east wall of the hall, laid on 21st June 1933 by Algernon Edward Gilliat, eldest son of Algernon Gilliat, the founder and benefactor of St. Paul's Church. Other stones were laid by Albert Prior Attawell, People's Warden of St. Paul's, and John Ernest Taylor, Superintendent of St. Paul's Sunday Schools. A further stone is almost illegible but it would seem to have laid by by the Revd. Arthur Dowsett, the vicar of St. Pauls.The building was opened in 1933 as the parish hall of St. Paul's Church, Stoke Road and named Gilliat Hall in memory of Algernon Gilliat.It was originally used for St. Paul's Sunday Schools. The Slough detachment of the Salvation Army was formed in 1926 and moved to Stoke Road when their first headquarters in William Street was demolished.
