The High Spot?

Was coming through Haslingden today from Bury n the bus stopped a few mins at the stop before the traffic lights, n the grey cells started ticking n seemed to remember a 60s Dance Hall we used to go on Sunday Nights, Think it was just across from that bus stop on left hand side of the street going off the main Road? yeh went up some stairs to get in n was called the "High Spot" anyone remember the place or used to go? Can say if Asky sees this to ask his sis as remember she used to go up yon, in fact a good few of us from accy used to trek up yon every sunday night.

Re: The High Spot?

If you are at the stop before the lights you are on Manchester Road, the street on your right is Park Street and it will be The Liberal Club on the left a few yards up, it then became a night club, will sort some photos in a min

Looking towards Bury-Manchester I think this is the bus stop you are on about

I'm just wondering whether the dance hall wasn't down stairs in the cellar, which would mean climbing stairs on the way out, well or being carried up them anyway, mind you its nearly 40 years ago and them little grey cells
