Description: | The Baths Hall first opened in 1932. Every autumn the pool was drained and the changing rooms folded back so a temporary floor could be constructed ready for the winter dance season. The pool was drained for the last time in 1983 after the new Scunthorpe Leisure Centre was opened on Carlton Street. After a number of years as an entertainment venue it finally closed in 2005 to undergo a massive re-build. It opened again in 2011 with the comedian Bill Bailey as the opening act. Most famously Radio 1 DJ John Peel always maintained that it was one of his favourite venues to play at. | Publisher: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.uk/ | Rights holder: | North Lincolnshire Council Image Archive | Subjects: | Scunthorpe Doncaster_Road Baths_Hall | Source: | North Lincolnshire Museums | Identifier: | http://northlincsmuseumimagearchive.org.... | Go to resource |
