  • Berwick Advertiser 4 March1921- reports the unveiling with a very detailed description of the interior of the hall, and that initially the board is over the stage of the hall, but will later be moved into the porch so that anyone entering the hall will see it.
  • Northern Echo 5 March 1921 reports the opening of the hall with the memorial board
