Re: Rollerama - great Harwood

Great Harwood had a roller skating rink in the 60s went once nearly broke me neck, don't think it was called Rollerama Keetah, we just knew it as the skating rink.

Maybe it was in a different place then because my mum used to say she lived in a flat where the skating rink was - before it was a skating rink

or maybe that was even before it had been a skating rink in the 60's maybe you know cashy ?
