EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the lively atmosphere of a Bingo game taking place at the Assembly Rooms in Royal Leamington Spa. The historic Bath Assembly Hall, originally built in 1926 and designed by Horace Bradley, has been transformed into a vibrant bingo hall while still retaining its original charm. The dance floor, once graced by elegant dancers during inter-war years, now serves as the perfect setting for this popular recreational activity. The symmetrical layout of the hall adds to its grandeur, with rows of orange and green seats neatly arranged around numbered tables. Norman Walley's skillful photography highlights both the architectural beauty of the building and the excitement that fills the air during these bingo sessions. The unaltered state of this iconic venue is evident through every detail captured in this image. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to an era where community gatherings were cherished moments. It reminds us that even though times may change and buildings may be repurposed, their essence remains intact. Let us appreciate not only Norman Walley's talent but also celebrate how places like these continue to bring joy and entertainment to people from all walks of life.
