Open Hearth, Scunthorpe

Built 1956 with 4 rooms and an off sales it now only has two large rooms. The front left public bar retains original fixed seating in big bays, an original bar back but a new bar counter - it originally went around to the right into the lounge so the curved counter / hatch is new. Good wood surround and marble fireplace is original. The low ceiling as you enter is as a result of adding extractor fans. To the right through two doorways i.e. opened-up is the original lounge with original fixed seating in big bays.

There was a snug between the lounge and the concert room at the rear which has disappeared. Also, the off sales situated at the front right of the entrance has also been obliterated. At the rear double doors lead into a large high ceilinged room which was originally the concert room with a stage at the rear so the present fixed seating has changed. It has a parquet floor, classic 1950s bar counter front, a bar back that looks original 1950s with only one fridge having replaced lower shelves. The fixed seating at the front of the room could be 1950s original and there is a pool table. The rear of the room has a full sized billiard table, which replaced a three-quarter sized one in c.2000.
