Wombwell Public Baths

A Memory of Wombwell.

Having just joined Facebook I am with former Wombwellians, our topic is Dancing at Wombwell Baths during the winter months. A wooden floor was laid as mentioned below. Harry Swift and his orchestra were the regular guest aritists. The Friday and Saturday night dances, not forgetting the Saturday afternoon sessions, were popular for us young children. The floor had a bounce when the Gay Gordons were danced.
The Christmas party at Kings Road Junior School was held at the baths which we loved. I can hear us singing 'There Was An Old Man Called Michael Finnigan', now.
I wondered if anybody could remember when the dances stopped?

I remember these dances I was not that old when I used to go. Small Paul and the young ones were also regular performers. I even saw the Applejacks there. Happy days.
