Re: Knowlemere Street dance
 

The Arcadium Ballroom, Accrington on Manchesterbeat - the group and music scene of Manchester in the '60s -just dug this up Lennie.:)

Re: Knowlemere Street dance
 

great to see this picture...the other road is Malt Street..

Re: Knowlemere Street dance
 

Never knew it was called the Arcadium Ballroom. Just knew it as Knowlemere St. I seem to have a memory of an Off-Licence on the diagonal corner, but looking at the street shots on GE I can't make out where it was. Is it just my imagination or does anyone else remember it, also a Telephone Box very close by?

Re: Knowlemere Street dance
 

Yep the off licence was corner of Malt Street n Milnshaw lane Barrie facing Whalley Rd. we always called the ballroom the "Arts".:)

Re: Knowlemere Street dance
 

Thanks Cashy, always thought it was nearer than that. I intend to walk from there to where the Haslingden Bus Stop used to be - a special trip down memory lane when I am over in May.

Re: Knowlemere Street dance
 

Just thought was it not a "Mail Box"? not a Telephone, one of the big owd red uns.:)

Hi Cashy, I have just uploaded a photo in the old Accrington photo's..titled Whalley Road...just near the turning for Knowlmere Street.... if I remember rightly the CLOCK Garage was on opposite corner....I remember the shop in the picture was a chemist in the early 60's....
hope this is of interest.....

Re: Knowlemere Street dance
 

thanks Cashy.....by the way do you remember Accrington Palace Theatre Club on Blackburn Road, Church...some great acts on there early 60's...

Re: Knowlemere Street dance
 

Was it the one just before the "Oak Tree"? was a place i never went, only went Empire ossy once.:)

Re: Knowlemere Street dance
 

it used to be a cinema, but became a cabaret club....Frank Ifield, Craig Douglas and many stars from that era appeared there....I worked in the upstairs bar in the evenings, for a little while to earn extra money.......it was great cos I got to see the stars for free...I think the compare was called Mike Shaun..and he stayed in the area for a long time, singing in local pubs..but then went to Spain.....sorry I am going off the subject of Knowlemere St...sorry..:o

A friend remembers buying Cherry Bs in the Offy and then she would stand in the phone box to drink them.
