EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the elegant era of the 1930s with this photograph of the Show Boat at Maidenhead. This art deco masterpiece, built in 1933, was a modern road house style club that catered to a sophisticated clientele. With its sleek lines and streamlined design, the Show Boat was considered state of the art when it first opened. The club featured a range of luxurious amenities, including a swimming pool, restaurant, cocktail bar, and sun bathing area. Guests could enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool or relax in the sun, all while sipping on a stylish cocktail. The restaurant served up delicious meals, making the Show Boat a popular destination for both locals and visitors. The Show Boat's grand opening marked a new era of leisure and entertainment in Maidenhead. The 1930s were a time of prosperity and excitement, and the Show Boat embodied the spirit of the times. However, the outbreak of war in 1939 brought about a change. The Show Boat became a United Services Club, providing a place for soldiers and sailors to relax and unwind. After the war, the Show Boat never reopened as a club. Instead, it was repurposed as a factory. Despite its industrial use, the Show Boat's art deco design remained an intriguing reminder of its past. However, in January 2019, the Show Boat was demolished to make way for residential flats. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when the Show Boat at Maidenhead was a symbol of modernity and luxury.
