"Once a posh dance hall with sprung floor, now perhaps a blessing that an eyesore has gone" - unattrib.

Dick Melton, who worked here from 1957 to 1986 advises:-

Mr Horace Brooke built the Kit -Kat in 1933 he could not get a licence so he bought the BUCK at Sedgeford and transferred the licence.
In 1958 Mr. Colisanti, the manager started up a Sunday night dance club with local rock bands this attracted 1,000 people every Sunday night till 1970 when the disco craze took over. After Mr Horace Brooke passed away his two sons, Peter and Colin took over they decided to retire and sold the pub in 1986. It was then closed down for for a while and then reopened as a night club and was called the Sands.

It later changed hands again and was then called O'Rourke's Bar.
Then in 1996 it closed down for good.

In 1998 it was destroyed by fire and it stood there just an empty shell until it was demolished in 2002. The area of land where it stood for over 70 years is just an empty space covered in weeds and rubbish.
