Brilliant shot.. I was there in the late fifties, absolutely loved the place.. every night except Wednesday.. went to very ball there was Police, Electricians, Plumbers, Engineers.. you name it I was there.. After we came out we would walk around King Street, all having fun just talking about the evening and who we'd danced with, then come 11 0'clock the bobby would say "come on let's be having you all go home".. and we went, can you imagine that happening today.. I honestly think we lived in the best era.. that's only my opinion but it's there.. thanks Ron for bringing the memories back.

My teen's idea of having a ball is very different - going out 11pm on a Fri/Sat night to Wigan's pubs then clubs, home about 6am.
