Bedford Grove Rollaway, Daniel Webster Highway, South Bedford, NH
This roller rink was in Bedford but it has a vague history to explain here. It opened around 1940s and closed in 1980s. That is because it did not have much information.
It had changed hands a few times from the year 1940 and at one point seemly to end in 1982. Something like 1980 or 1982.
It was a Gable building with hip roof on the side. There is, however a very grainy photograph which will not be qualified on here because it was not a very clear one. And a photo from the newspaper. Even a skating magazine of same photo of three people standing front of the rink with their unique automobiles.
I have no idea what the interior was like either. This is pretty dead one. Likely it was wood fllor because of it first opened in 1940s so likely it was wood. Maple perhaps.
