And for all those girls whos mother said that only "Bad" girls went to it, how would they know unless they experienced it themselves, its like calling the kettle black.
Still there Keith, still an offy. It's actually on the corner of Knowlmere street and Milnshaw Lane but you can see it from Whalley road.

Sadly the red phone box nearby where you could go to quaff your booze has been replaced by an open shelter with a phone in it.

I was a 60s girl at the Arcs, remember having a Twist dress when the dance craze was on - red with white spots and a full skirt from the hips. Simple pleasures!

PS I just love your signature.
