Dagenham Roundhouse is a pub and music venue located in Dagenham, London, England. It was established in 1969 as the "Village Blues Club", and from then until 1975 was considered to be east London's premier rock music venue.〔 In 2007, filmmakers Ken Gascoigne and "H" Curran produced a documentary about the club in which they interviewed some of the artists who appeared there in its heyday, including Mick Box of Uriah Heep, Brian May of Queen, the Roundhouse Promoter Andy Townsend, and various local residents, who recalled memories of the club.〔 Behind the pub, in the location of the old car park,〔 is a road called Bragg Close. This is named after the singer and poet Billy Bragg, whose family has lived in the area for over a century.〔 Bragg opened the street on 24 August 1999, dedicating it to his own brother, and paying tribute to Ben Tillett, the founder of the dockworkers union. It consists of 12 housing association homes.〔 == Location == It is located in the triangular segment formed by the junction of Porters Avenue (the A1153) and Lodge Avenue, and is adjacent to a boating lake and Mayesbrook park, the home of Barking & East Ham United F.C.〔 The main circular building is approximately in diameter, but the function room, which was used for concerts and bingo, is a long, low ceilinged, rectangular wing, extending along Lodge Avenue. It lies roughly half-way between Upney and Becontree tube stations, which are on the District line in zone 5. The Roundhouse is a stop on London Buses route 368. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dagenham Roundhouse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
