The “Market House” of 1867 has served as a town hall, magistrates court and assembly rooms. The Scala appears to have been on an upper floor which was added to the building later and has no direct connection with the pub. One icture shows this side of the building in Church St as a fish and chip shop.
In the 70’s and 80’s this building was a rollerskating rink (before it became a nightclub). It used to be open on Saturday’s and all I remember from the one occasion I went was how dark and dusty and old it was! Also the part that is now the Wetherspoon’s entrance was a Knee’s store at around the same time. Knee’s were presumably a locally owned chain of small department stores and also had branches in Truro and Penzance as I recall.
Despite the date in the camera data, my photographs were taken in June 2013.
