The Forum can be found at the bottom end of Bath town centre, across from the new shopping development.
It was originally built as a cinema in 1934 before being used as a dance school and bingo hall from the end of the sixties. It is now used for conferences, concerts, meetings, graduation ceremonies and users include local choirs, orchestras, schools, colleges and universities as well as businesses. It is a lovely building and I hope one day it will become a cinema again!

ReplyDeleteAnd you're very welcome:-) Even though I haven't commented much on your blog, I've enjoyed your post and photos very much.
ReplyDeleteBath is such a beautiful place with so much history. Your blog is a reminder of how much I enjoyed my visit there a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it's used and not falling into disrepair/despair, there's hope. Too many buildings like this one have disappeared.
ReplyDeleteYes..!
ReplyDeleteReally wonderfull photos...!
It is truly a lovely building. And it appears to be a very busy building. Let's hope it is maintained for future generations.
ReplyDeleteI thought it looked like a cinema. A lovely building and I'm glad it found other uses, rather than being demolished.
