Wooler Youth Hostel
Wooler Youth Hostel - and feather-legged hens!
From 'Town and Country Trail', available from NT9828 : The Cheviot Centre, Wooler:
"This single storey 'U' shaped building was built in 1940 as the Land Army Hostel. The 30-40 'Land Girls' living here worked the land, drove the tractors, pulled turnips and still had time for the local dances! Several still live in the town - having married local men. Later used to house Latvian refugees, it was converted to Youth Hostel accommodation in 1954."
