In the late 50s Church Con was the Saturday night gathering place for Teddy boys.
I only 'went out' with a ted briefly. He took me to the Con and I recall a massive fight that filled the dance floor - people stood on the chairs around the room sides to watch - I never went back !
The place was notorious for its 'Teddy boy battles'
It still stands-
