Barnby Memorial Hall, Blyth, Nottinghamshire.
I am fairly good now at spotting buildings that are likely to be “listed” buildings, that is buildings that have been designated as being of architectural, historical or cultural significance so it was a shock to discover this fine structure in the middle of Blyth to have been deemed to not fit the criteria to warrant being listed!
This red-brick Hall was built by the First Baron Barnby in 1927 as a memorial and thanks. Thanks to the fact that his son returned safe from WW1 and as a memorial to all those that lost their lives and never returned.
It is now used for many functions from meetings, groups and the like to plays and music performances.
