Wincanton Memorial Hall

Very well shown with an interesting text ! Have a nice Sunday, Rosa !

Thank you Ulrich.
Sunday greetings.

A lovely building. The curved roof reminds me a little of Nissen huts which is in keeping with the memorial. I think the soldiers would have approved of the Saturday dances and the enjoyment they brought.

Yes it does Jean. Surprisingly spacious inside. The dances always ended with the same two, the Gay Gordon, which everyone got on the dance floor for, and the final smoochy song, which some sat down for! All ended just before midnight and we were all home in good time.

A lovely composition, Rosa, with great juxtaposition of curves and straight lines. The Union Flag adds a nice wee splash of colour. Cheers, Joe

Thank you for your kind comments Joe. I was telling Jean that the dances always ended with the Gay Gordon and a slow smoochy song. Nothing was open when the dances finished, so we all got home at a reasonable time! Cheers, Rosa.

Excellent composition and lovely images Rosa, the building is very much a 1960s design.

Thank you posting your image in the group

Yes it is Roger. It has always been well maintained and very well used.

War Memorial with a hall bringing memories of good times: surprising!

Many happy memories from there Dimas.
Sunday greetings.

J'imagine ce beau moment passé agrémenté avec une belle danse et je suis certain que la soirée se termine merveilleusement bien avec une douce et lente chanson ..!
Le mémorial est vraiment remarquable et bien présenté.
Bonne soirée Rosa.

Yes it ended that way every time Malik. They were good and innocent times.
Thank you so much for your kind comments.
Good evening and wish you a good new week.

Happy sunday evening:)

Happy Sunday to you too Annemarie.

What a wild life you used to lead Rosa :-))

I agree with Jean about the Nissen hut look...............and it looks like it's been renovated and extended over the years. A lovely image, especially in the sunshine and with the Union Flag up the pole. Great memories!

A lovely memorial image in the PiP as well.

I hope you've had a lovely weekend. Enjoy your Sunday evening.

Ha ha, great memories of the 60's Keith....but I can remember them :)

The building has been very well looked after and until this year and its limitations, was very well used. The Sunday walk was so good, as I only normally visit the High Street, so it was a bit of a walk down memory lane, and I bumped into an old neighbour and chatted for about an hour!

Many thanks for your great comments and I hope you have had a good weekend too.

Un paseo que dio sus frutos, como en estas fotos, volviendo a los recuerdos del pasado que endulza el amargo presente. Precioso escrito en recuerdo de los que dieron sus vidas por el porvenir de otros. Feliz domingo Rosa.

You say it perfectly Jose. Sometimes we forget what is near to home.
Thank you for your kind comments. Wish you a good new week.

Fabulous images

Thank you very much Reyk.

Ah, dort wurde also getanzt. Interessnt!

Yes, and always live bands Lothar.

Emotivo lugar de fuerte y sentimental significado. Buena nueva semana.

Yes indeed Marije :)
Wishing you a good week ahead.

Nostalgic one Rosa !!
Safe and healthy week ahead.

Yes very. Thank you Jaap :)

A lovely old hall with distinct and appropriate overtones of Nissen huts. Also a few memories of dances. :-)

Thank you George. I'm not sure when it was built but it must have been shortly after WWII. The lovely man that was always on the door was actually German. He was always very cheerful.

THW WORDS ARE ALWAYS EVOCATIVE

They are Pam. They make you stop and think.

Hi Rosa

A very nice picture, which, as others have said, looks like an army hut from the war..

Late 60's ... MMM I was still in school then!!

Best Wishes, a nice week, and stay safe!!
Peter

Hi Peter,
It must have been built very cheaply after WWII but has been well maintained and used ever since.

You're a youngster then Peter!

Best wishes,
Rosa.
