Chapeltown Roller Skating Rink Reginald Terrace, Chapeltown, Leeds, UK
Chapeltown Roller Skating Rink Reginald Terrace, Chapeltown, Leeds, United Kingdom was a rink that began on 22 October 1909. It was owned and operated by Yorkshire County Rink Company.
It is difficult to do histories of rinks that are a hundred or so years old. Now, it seems likely that this building labelled Rink Works (Bedstands & Bedding) on the map was originally the site of Chapeltown Roller Rink. The 1906 Ordinance Survey map shows that the building was not present in 1906, meaning it was built (and opened) in 1909. Given its name and location it would be a big coincidence if the 1919 Rink Works building was not once the Chapeltown Roller Rink as said in Museums and Galleries website.
There are no information on closure. But likely it was closed just a few short years after the rink opened in 1909. Likely before 1919. Under 10 years of operations. Short lived rinks were common in the turn of the century at the time.

Rinks that are closed are considered dead. Rinks that are/were sold and with new management names new name(s), the former are considered dead. Previous operating rink that closed but came back years later, are considered dead because the reopening is considered rebooted, nothing to do with the former.
