Methodist Central Hall

Tollcross, Edinburgh

50 + years apart:
On the top floor, a sunny bay-windowed room full of nursery children, all hoping for the honour of handing out the Blue Riband biscuits.
On the first floor, the Hall full of slightly older children, in disciplined rows, "1st position, 2nd, 3rd,4th, 5th..........quiet at the back there, or I'll get a sticking plaster".
On the street, two young sisters, running away from home, tired already and pausing on the familiar steps while they decide to go home again for tea.
Love Music Community Choir - 250 adults, buzzing with the effort and pleasure of 2 hours of singing.

It can feel good to complete a circle.
