<dc:title>Erskine Community Halls</dc:title>
<dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Designed by William Black of Messrs A. &amp;amp; W. Black, architects, Falkirk, the Erskine Church was built in 1905. It is in the Gothic style of architecture of the Perpendicular period, with a square tower at the south-west corner some 90 ft tall. The south gable presents a five light tracery window and twin doors to the street, approached by an imposing broad flight of steps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The church is cruciform in plan, with nave, aisles, chancel and two shallow transepts. There are galleries over the end of the nave and each of the transepts. A creamy sandstone from Eastfield Quarry was used.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Internally the bases of the pillars are of freestone but the walls and ceiling have been finished with lathe and plaster. Behind the church and communicating with it is a hall to accommodate 200 people, a smaller hall, vestry, session room, ladies room, waiting room, kitchen and offices. The total cost of the building was put at £9248.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The building ceased functioning as a church in 2014 and is used as community halls. It now provides a great venue for functions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Courtesy of The Erskine Community Halls.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
