Great Harwood had a roller skating rink in the 60s went once nearly broke me neck

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 ?
