Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington
I can remember going dancing at the Con 1950s exchanging passouts for the Ritz at the interval to check the talent,passouts were paper not stamped on you, i think it was as already said Eddie McGarry playing at the Con and Syd Ashmead at the Ritz.

Our School 6th form "dos" were held at the Con club -remember losing my contact lenses there and finding them in the loos the next day!
It's also where my mum and dad got together in the early 60's!

Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington
Yes, I 'd taken them out and put them in their case which got nicked out of my hand-bag -was found in the cistern of one of the loos the next day along with a load of empty wallets and purses!
