In the 1960’s when in use as the Olympia Dance Hall, it was affectionally known as the ‘Rink’. Many artists appeared here, including, Lulu, Cila Black, Gene Vincent and the Barron Knights. It closed in 1974 and for a while was used as a packing store for herbs & spices, before becoming an auction house. It was demolished in 1985, the site becoming a car park for a local supermarket.
