The Avon Social Club - Commemorative Plaque

On the Avon Social Club, the local community has placed its own plaque to commemorate the late comedian Tony Hancock. Although a blue plaque is placed upon the Durlston Court Hotel; the place of his childhood, this plaque remembers his first professional appearance when the Avon Social Club was the Labour Hall.

Tony Hancock was a prolific comedian and his Half Hour show became a sensation on the BBC. At the age of 44, he committed suicide but his legacy lived within comedians and famous fans, including Steve Coogan and Mark Hamill.
