Last days for Grantham’s favourite dance hall

January 6, 2019 by Grantham Matters 4 Comments

BMARCo’s Social Club, Springfield Road, Being demolished in 1999. The club had been a mecca for local dance bands and rock groups but failed to continue after the factory closed. Affordable homes were built on the site.

    BmARCO’S

    Echoes of voices
    Some of them gone
    Sounds of the dance-bands
    Music and song
    Rocking and rolling
    ‘Cross the dance floor
    Memories to cherish
    Now it is no more
    Weekends will never
    Be like that time
    There in that rubble
    Lies your life and mine

    Like many many more people who will see this photo I was left with a lump in the throat remembering the nights up “Marco’s” some very good nights indeed.
    The few lines from @Poetman says it all very,very eloquently
