#3 Double Pic Quiz

Morecambe Ex Pat · 26-09-2008, 08:24

Here are two pictures, one on top of the other.
Identify locations of the 2 pictures.
What are the areas 1,2 and 3 now?
Name all the uses that 1 & 2 have been used for over the years?

If anyone gets them all correct on the first picture, I am throwing my rattle out of the pram.
Good Luck

How about a couple of clues?

Their post codes
might just help
with locating them.

I will expand the gaps in time but that will make picture 1 disappear.

Suppose the theatre could be any in Morecambe, Blackpool, etc., however, as it is an Accrington theme, will guess at the old Prince's theatre ? Seem to remember trying to see around those poles in the balcony ..

Not a clue though re. 1,2 & 3 yet.

Is it the Ritz?

The top picture is not in hyndburn but the bottom picture is.
Willow should get the top one.

That clue about Willow then, does it mean it is somewhere like The Winter Gardens in Morecambe (Ok know changed names a couple of times).

Are you saying the theatre is the top one or the bottom one ?

Well done Katex - the top picture is of Morecambe Winter Gardens looking from the stage.
There are some good clues as to the location of the picture behind so I will leave it as it is for now, to give the evening crowd a chance.

I'm guessing all three were picture houses or dance halls of Accrington??

I did think myself could be the Vue Cinema Phil .. has a roof like this, and maybe Morecambe could be referring to Bus Station/Fairs as usages i.e. Ellison's Tenament.

One thing for sure, he has kept his rattle on this one .. LOL

WillowTheWhisp · 26-09-2008, 23:20

lol I thought it couldn't be the Winter Gardens because I thought they were all in Hyndburn!

Got the first one right away because I performed there 6 or7 times in one day some 40 yr's ago.

Think I was in the third one for performing once when i shouldn't have done,but thats another story.
