The Barraclough Hall

A collection of photographs of the Barraclough Hall since its construction in 1946. Once a warehouse at the terminus of the Canal on Ashwell Road, later converted into stables, the Barraclough Hall was named in honour of Mrs Barraclough, benefactor to the school, and in memory of her late husband, Norman Barraclough (OO, 1883). At the west end was the stage and the theatre would seat about three hundred and fifty people. Other features included a traditional long hall, raked stage and Proscenium Arch. The opening ceremony took place on 20 June 1953.
