King's Road, Newark on Trent, Notts.
Although the former King's Road Unitarian Chapel was officially opened in 1884 eventually it was adapted for commercial purposes. The premises were last occupied by the Staythorpe Electricity Sports and Social Club. The club opened here in May 1954 with a 25-year lease after Staythorpe A Power Station began generating electricity for the National Grid in 1950. Staythorpe B Power Station was built later and began production in 1960. The employers were granted a further 20-year lease on the club’s premises in 1979. In 1994 these two power stations were shut down to allow for a new, replacement gas-fired power station to be built on the Staythorpe site, after which production restarted in December 2010. However, once the United Kingdom’s electricity generating industry was privatised this subsidised club became a working men’s club with the responsibility for covering its own costs. Although a further 20-year lease on the premises was granted in 1999, it seems that the club was affected by England’s 2007 tobacco smoking ban within licensed premises and also by competition from low priced alcohol being sold in supermarkets. As a result the decision was taken to close the club in April 2016 leaving the Unitarian Church’s owners to seek new tenants.
