East Williamston has flourished in recent years into a very pleasant area to live being a quiet, picturesque village with good community spirit. The Community Hall in East Williamston is a vibrant centre for local activities such as short mat bowls,square dancing, exercise classes and monthly quizzes. Jubilee Park has been a triumph for community members, who have seen it through from the purchase of the land to development of play area, nature trail and an open space for recreation for all in the community. During the early 19th century the area was heavily exploited by the mining industry for its rich coal seams and today the surrounding countryside is still riddled with shafts and mines.
